for those that have interest… I tracked down more specifics…

The reformulated gasoline (RFG) requirement for CO is specific to cities along the front range… although since a high majority of the gasoline sold in CO is produced at a limited number of refineries, its very possible that RFG gets sold in other areas of the state just out of convenience.

The RFG is only mandated to be sold in the “containment zone” during the summer season (specifically Jun 1-Sept 15) with a vapor pressure of 7.4# (typical summer RVP is 9.0# in most midwest states)

Since ethanol contributes to higher RVP, its unlikely that refiners/terminals will add more than the 10% ethanol required to meet the minimum RFG oxygenate spec. Although higher ethanol blends could be possible outside of the summer driving season.

Based on this, my assumption is we should still be able to buy “clear” (no ethanol) conventional premium gasoline at our favorite station in Ouray this year.

You can still get Ethonal free at the Ouray Riverside resort in Ouray.

SAS veterans know the benefits of Entohol free gas far outways the extra cost running on the elevations the trails up there. Especially those of us running the older carb" rigs.

Hello Everyone,
I'm sorry I haven't visited in a while. We are looking forward to your group getting here. We are currently full during SAS8 week. However, if anything opens up I will let you guys know first.

They are currently working on Black Bear for those of you who feel the need to hit that trail. It should be open by the time you get here.

Get your brakes checked.



All other trails should be open also, they are still working on a lot of trails and some of them the snow will just have to melt. Most of the more popular trails are already open. We have had a lot of rain and mudslides on several trails in the last week so some trails were closed for a day or so to repair. As far as we know those are all clear now.

See you all soon!

I’ve never assembled, removed, or installed an engine before. Just got this back from the machine shop today along with all of the machined & balanced internals.

Think I can get it done and in before SAS?

If anyone would like to park/unload in the SLV and wheel to SAS from there, y'all are more than welcome. I have PLENTY of truck/trailer space. I think we are planning on taking Stony Pass in this year.

Hey, folks. Hard to believe we are only a month out. One of our new sponsors, Amarillo Cigar Co. will be at the Texas Convoy party in Amarillo August 2. If you have a preference, please reply to this post with your favorites for camp and they will do their best to have them, or similar, at the barn that evening. They will have other merch, etc., as well.

Pretty sure the blue cap is about where the KOA is.

Once again we are happy to host Ouray Mountain Rescue before our raffle on Wednesday. These are the folks we hope we never have to call while we are in Ouray. They will have a table setup with swag including their 50th Anniversary T-Shirts. Please support those that help many people in a time of need.
Also, they will have Elsie the Rescue 80 at the raffle to stir interest in the Auction to sell her for much needed funds.
As usual we will have a few unique SAS items to auction that goes directly to this amazing group of Volunteers.
Casey..

Finally. I guess the misspelling of my name lead to no confirmation. I was getting worried the order was lost.

Here's to all the other "slackers" still doing invasive reconstructive surgery
