Hi out there!? I'm new to this, so here goes.? I tend to get long-winded.? Please read on anyways!
My husband and I live on Vancouver Island.? He is retired, an ex-policeman.? He still works every other week and time off is flexible...........so we want to travel south in October.
We have 2 grown children (we survived!?
We bought an old '90 Silverado last year and it came with an Adventurer camper.? We did weekend trips here on the island mixed in with lake fishing and found that camping is okay (fish on the line helps)......after many years away from it.? A camper sure beats the old tent trailer we had in the days of wee kids.

I don't know if I should post a new message for help, or just ask for it here.? Oh well, here goes.
We want to head to ARIZONA at the beginning of October.? We have 5 weeks to get there & back.? But we know there is concern about some passes in the states, I wonder when they get snow?
Is there anyone out there who can steer me to anything on ARIZONA, any articles on this forum somewhere,
places to go, things that are an absolute must,
things to be wary of,
shopping,
health food stores,
shopping,
places to stay (& costs) (we are trying to go on a budget..............well, just being money-wise),
food, weather,
did I mention "shopping",
any such thing as sand storms down there??
flea markets, clothing needed, etc. etc. etc.
We have seen the Grand Canyon years ago when we dipped down into Arizona and out again to Nevada (that's all we saw of Arizona).? WE will also probably get into a bit of California.
I cannot spend too much time on the computer searching as I the old neck starts putting up a fight......it's a pain in the neck?
Jim tends to get wet feet (I hope he doesn't cancel this trip) and is concerned about the long drive with an old truck, etc.? We will get the truck checked out................And I thought if I could dig up a lot of information on ARIZONA? and getting there, that might help.? He is a homebody.? If this trip is successful and we enjoy the time away, then we'll have to look at another truck (every man's dream!).?
I look forward to hearing from you. Hope you can help me!
