Hi Everyone. Well, after 15 years the RV-Dreams Community Forum is coming to an end. Since it began in August 2005, we've had 58 Million page views, 124,000 posts, and we've spent about $15,000 to keep this valuable resource for RVers free and open. But since we are now off the road and have settled down for the next chapter of our lives, we are taking the Forum down effective June 30, 2021. It has been a tough decision, but it is now time.
We want to thank all of our members for their participation and input over the years, and we want to especially thank those that have acted as Moderators for us during our amazing journey living and traveling in our RV and growing the RV-Dreams Family. We will be forever proud to have been founders of this Forum and to have been supported by such a wonderful community. Thank you all!!
We are on our way back on long trip from Las Vegas,to Wash,DC,to Tampa Fla, & return. Currently in Texas hill country,west of San Antonio. Next on I-10 to Ft. Stockton,then on to Las Cruces.We had planned to take I-10 all the way to Phoenix,then connect via 60/93 to the 40,then back home. I see I could go from Las Cruces back up to Albq.to the 40, or take the 17 up to Flagstaff,to the 40 and home.Since it seems to be hotter in Phx.than just about anywhere,I thought about alternates. Does anyone have any experience or thoughts? Thanks in advance.
Richard

Your idea seems good although I've never gone that way. To get around Phoenix on I-10, we take I 8 at Casa Grande to Gila Bend then north on 85 (not sure but I think its 85) meeting I 10 just west of Buckeye.
You already know the most direct route and that would total 1253 miles from Kerrville, TX. The next option is to go into Phoenix, up I-17 and then 40W which adds about 100 miles (1354) and a big climb up to Flagstaff. The final option is to go I-25N to Albuquerque which adds only a few additional miles (1381). There are several smaller climbs from Las Cruces to Albuq and then Albuq to Flagstaff. If you are planning nothing more than overnight stops I doubt the temps will be of any concern and I would take the shortest route. If you are planning to stop and visit some of the areas you plan to pass through I would take the Las Cruces, Albuq, Flagstaff route. There are some really neat areas to visit including the VRA radio telescope site West of Socorro, NM.
