Attention: TDR Forum Junkies [RAW]OK, a lot of you are enjoying your weekends and vacations - not to mention retirements - traveling throughout the country. While you are at it, consider participating in the Turbo Diesel Register's Five Points Tour.

What reason would you give for choosing 4-wheel drive in a Ram
Turbo Diesel pickup? Readers of the TDR know several persuasive
reasons based on the 4x4 advantage in traction and control. The
truck’s surefootedness in snow and bad weather; its prowess as
a tow truck to haul trailers of all descriptions and to pull really big
fifth wheels; its controlled power as a work truck in construction
and on farm and ranch—wherever there is a demanding job to be
done. Over the years TDR magazine has told the story.

Indian Pueblos, lava fields, natural arches, radio telescopes,
cryptic inscriptions on sandstone cliffs: west-central New Mexico
has it all, along with scenic vistas that never end. At the center of
all this spectacle is Datil Well Campground [GPS coordinates: N
34 degrees 18 min 37.2 sec; W 108 degrees 11 min 26.7 sec]. We
first visited the site in the 1980s, and enjoyed the peace and quiet;
listened to the sound of the wind in the junipers and piñon trees,
a sound like no other; and sensed the brooding spirits of cowboys
long gone and the palpable presence of the past.

Embroidered on the T-shirt in the window of the curio shop, in
big letters are the words “Sí, como no,” which, translated from
Spanish, means “Yes, Why Not?” Think about it: well, it might be
a little risqué. There is one place, however, where this message
(and the T-shirt) is totally appropriate: in Why, which is a remote
desert village in the state of Arizona.
