NM is a great place to camp. Will be interesting this year as it has been such a dry winter some areas may start closing down. I'm still hoping for rain/snow!

This is interesting. Makes me feel bad for asking Costco to replace both of the 12V in my Ram when one battery lost a cell at 18months old. (BTW, Costco rocks.....18 months into those batteries...
