I recently had to replace my 2 deep cycle coach batteries due to poor
maintenance. Yeah, lesson learned. It appears that the small solar

at full charge causing the water to boil out.

More spectacular colors, lots more sand in multi colors, and the best
experience yet. Carolyn and I were hiking in Grand Wash, which is a narrow
canyon with a 2 mile hiking trail which comes out each end of the canyon. About
1/3 of the way back to the car, a Bighorn sheep walked ...

Sometimes, when I have the minutes and the time, I monitor the newsgroup with
the German newsreader on Mozilla.  I noticed that Hunter had painted her white

Our frig. can run off of AC or Gas.   The check light keeps coming on we
reset it and it will be ok for any where from 2 to 12 hrs.
It has happened on AC and Gas.   Any ideas what is going on ?

Looking to do a southwest trip in April with the kids (4 and 6) for about 3
weeks.  Planning on Grand Canyon 4 Corners areaa and southern Utah.
Question is, is this a big snow-bird area that I would be smart to have
reservations along the way due to things being booked up? Or ...

We just returned from Vegas and I was quite surprised how Silverton's
has gone down hill.  We were there about 3 years ago and the grounds
were excellent.  Last week, the grass was fried and the pool was
closed because someone was sick.  Well, unfortunately, my 7 year old
