vt, bring it on!! There are a few VXers in the Denver area, and I live in Carbondale (which is near Aspen). Each year we do a little convoy out to Moab and we pass right through Grand Junction on our way so we could pick you up as we go and add you to the line of VX's streaming out to Moab.
No pressure, but just something to think about.
"The major difference between a thing that might go wrong and a thing that cannot possibly go wrong is that when a thing that cannot possibly go wrong goes wrong, it usually turns out to be impossible to get at or repair."
