This week we have just come from the Albuquerque International Blue & Fiesta and we're going to talk about that with Joel Holland from Harvest Host and we're going to talk about some new exciting things coming to the RV industry.

This is RV Miles.

This fall, LL Bean wants to help you get outfitted for all that's out there, with tips and advice for heading outdoors and exploring all the possibilities of the season.

Here's a tip to help you stay comfortable when camping in cold weather.

Before bed, boil some water, pour it into your water bottle and stick it into the foot of your sleeping bag.

The heat will radiate out, giving you toasty toes and a comfy night's sleep.

Welcome to episode 254 of RV Miles. I'm Jason and I'm Abby and we are two full-time travelers who along with our three boys have been criss-crossing North America on one epic road trip since 2016.

Here at RV Miles, we talk all things RV and outdoors from industry news to travel destinations, our national parks and a lot more.

We are sitting to you here.

Are we sitting to you here?

We are sitting for you here in the heat of the New Mexico Sun, which is great because we have had so much rain.

I didn't know it rained that this much in New Mexico.

I mean, I know that they were very happy to have it, so I don't want to complain too hard, but it did put a little bit of a wet damper on this year's balloon fiesta.

So we just left the 50th annual Albuquerque International balloon fiesta and we were there for about two weeks or at least Abby was.

I left for a week to go to Elkhart, Indiana to sort of experience the open house, which is where they show off all the new stuff to the RV dealers.

And there's some exciting stuff. We'll get to that in a minute.

Yeah, and this year, like you said, it was the 50th. They actually did set a record this year, and I believe the record was that this was the first year there was never an evening glow.

Yeah, every night they intend to set up all the balloons in the evening and they pull the cord and let the fires rep and you get to see them all glow out on the field and the kids get to go collect cards from all the pilots and everything.

And every single one of them was either rained or winded out.

Yeah, and I know I could be really wrong on that stat. That was a stat that was shared with me.

So if I am wrong and you've been in the past and there's been no evening glow, just let us know down in the comments or you can say something over in the RV Miles Facebook group.
