RE: Blue Ox bade plates bolts falling off
Couple questions: did the installer use loctite on the bolts? And were the bolts grade 8? Were they changed at any time and grade 8 bolts with loctite used?

RE: Acoma Pueblo Sky City Walk Through Only Photos Allowed
We did that tour a few years ago. We also walked down the very steep path with our guide and a couple others.

RE: US 50 construction update
The update was from the last zoom meeting with CDOT a couple weeks ago. Unfortunately the website has not been updated often enough.
Believe me that myself and my neighbors would be overjoyed if they would be finished in Dec. 2023. But there is still much more work to be done. They are having to rush the paving job day and night for the next couple weeks to finish before it gets too cold.

Just pay attention to the trucker signs on I-70. That is a long descent into Denver.

RE: Oops… Went to buy Newmar then saw a Newell.
I've had 2 Newells. A 39' 1993 no slide and a 45' 1998 with 2 slides. Both were big steps above others in quality and construction. But like anything else condition is everything. Newell's are all custom built so you can't expect 2 different ones to be similar. A 2003 will probably have the Series 60 Detroit diesel with Allison World 6 speed transmission, a great combination.
Look at www.newellgurus.com for all of the info and expertise you need if your friend wants to consider a Newell.

RE: Diesel Pusher losing power
When you lose power is the exhaust blowing black smoke? If so it could be the turbo going bad.

RE: Monarch Pass WorkaroundHeading west from Poncha Springs
Hwy 114 is much easier than Monarch. There are some slow curvy sections on the north end but not difficult. I've done it many times in my 36'DP towing full size truck. And MUCH less traffic. Mostly local farmers.
Yes construction on Hwy 50 is still ongoing with full nightly closures except weekends. Typically about 30 minutes to an hour wait. Rough sections on east end with no concrete but pilot car so it's slow.
Hwy 92 is the official bypass around Hwy 50 construction but it is much longer with many curvy sections on the east end which follows the Black Canyon.
You won't save any time going 285 to 114 then back up to 50. There is no way to get around Colorado without going over the passes. Safe travels.
Yes the 50 construction should have been done last year. But may or may not be done this year, probably will go into next year.
Pay attention to the nightly closures. Our cabin is in the construction zone and our community is stuck here at night.

RE: Colorado Route 149
If you go from 149 then east on 50 into Gunnison you'll avoid the road construction. You'll still be able to access the Blue Mesa reservoir, which is almost full.

RE: Arizona highway update...
Good to know. We passed that way heading south in March and the roads were bad.
