at 12000 feet it runs a bit rough
but not enough to cramp our style.

we had a great time.
went to vallecito res. silverton ,ouray and went for drinks in durango.
the rod ran great. it lost a bit of power around 12000 feet but thats to be expected and it wasnt a big deal.
took many photos

Sounds good Billy.... I think if you look real close at the background you can see some of the local wildlife heading for the hills :D

Great Billy! Have a great time. Did you pop the question yet????
Billy,

Billy,
Congrats to you and your future bride!  If she enjoyed the week cruising around in the old pickup she's a keeper!
