Best bets along the route are the Jemez between Cuba and Abiquiu, the Chama below the dam at Abiquiu lake, the Rio de los Pinos just south of the CO border, and the Conejos River just north of the Colorado border.

I took a recovery class from Bill Burke just after I got the van. I learned some things but the best part was doing hands on recoveries in a controlled, low risk setting.

South Dakota is full-timer friendly for vehicle registrations, etc. Generally, where your vehicle is registered is considered your state of residence for income tax purposes. Many people use Texas or Florida because they have no individual state income tax.
