Hey gabby, kinda thread drift here but I hope things brighten up for you soon. Leadville is actually a pretty nice area (though I haven't been there in several decades). "Thread drift" is one of my only real skills, johntpenca , as you know. Just FYI: Got the car back today from the garage. No charge. Seems the guy who worked on it, at least acc. to him, put in a "bad sparkplug". What does that phrase mean? Did he put an old one back in instead of the new? Was the new plug cracked or damaged? Did he completely forget to put a plug in a cylinder? (Not likely.) Did he forget to connect the wiring? (Again, not likely) I asked, of course, but the man was vague. No paperwork either to document the incident, as is usual. I'm suspicious - I'm always suspicious about work done on things I can't visually confirm! - that he didn't want to have a record of the "mishap". Nonetheless, the short of it (something I'm not at all good at, mind you) is that the car now runs well, but only a few days too late. Yippee (I guess)Maybe I'll actually get there next time - or maybe I'll just join the "Area 51" gathering...

or maybe I'll just join the "Area 51" gathering... You could pick up one of those "high tech" rides while you're there. That way you'll have a backup in case the primary goes down again.

This years gathering was incredible. Great weather, a good crowd and a few new faces for me. There are a few folks I would have loved to seen again...but we all have fast moving life changes, and many of us are still connected through these forums and FB.
And we had a great organizational meeting about the future of Pickle Gulch among this years attendees. More to come on that in the months ahead.
My collateral prize was a chance to travel to a nearby wilderness, Encampment River Wilderness to the west and north, on the Medicine Bow-Routt NF. For you Front Range Colorado folks, just north of Mount Zirkel and Walden CO North Park. I now have only 2 Wyoming Wilderness's missing from the 11 not hiked.
