After Action Report
So, how did it go? I think it was great. Small group, but we had lots of fun.
We had a torrential downpour near Gunnison. And it was Africa Hot in Cortez. Otherwise great weather.
Nobody broke down and had to be towed. Nobody required any repairs on the road. No drama, No trauma.
Lunch in Buena Vista
Mesa Verde NP
This not looking good! Most of us left.
And ended up here, which was delicious.
This was the bill. :)
A little sunscreen was a good idea in Cortez.
Terry saved us from the great cobra famine of 2024!
Hanging out in the hotel lobby
Walt got tired of our BS, and sat with his new friends.
Dinner at The Creek. Mmmmm.
The Mustang Roundup, Cripple Creek. Some really great and rare cars.
My first hot rod, when I was in high school.
for those of you who couldn't make it, we missed you.
Put it on your Calander for next year.
