I'm still pending work schedule......so hopefully I'll see some of you folks, if I do.....I'll pop in towards the end of the week for a couple days.
Exactly. Fun fact, High Altitude Compensation would add 6 degrees starting at 4k ft. So bare minimum mark your line for 13* since you will be at 8k ft at the KOA and if you go up Imogene (which you definitely should/will), you'll peak at 13k ft. Your 3F likely has leaner jets at this moment (something like a 136/138 primary and 200/220 secondary) so once you bump your timing, feel free to use your choke to adjust.
Furthermore, since it's a 3F and likely a rest of world (ROW) truck, you should have a hand throttle. Using a mixture of choke and hand throttle will compensate for your needs (which is very dependent on engine vacuum). The closer to 22inHg at idle, at sea level, the better or off you are at high altitudes.
Last but not least....it's fun to bring a vac gauge, you can do some quick adjustments, otherwise a quick spin on the idle screw will be enough to bring idle speed up.

Yes! Or do it “by ear”
PM sent.
Anyone need anything brought to SAS? I’ll be at Valley Hybrids the next few days…
Departing Morro Bay the 30th.
Pig is almost ready?

Gotta bail out of this year guys. Started a new job in texas.
Haha using my favorite testing grounds
Just remembered several 80s with some high fuel tank pressure issues. I had the issue but not as bad as others.
Any obvious things we need to clean (Charcoal Filter Canister?) to make sure our tanks don't explode at high altitude?

The best thing you can do is run non-ethanol gasJust remembered several 80s with some high fuel tank pressure issues. I had the issue but not as bad as others.

Don’t fill tank all the way up either.
@ryaneddy16 Bummer you can't make it but congrats on the job!
Just so you guys know, it has been at or around 100º in Durango for the last 3 or 4 days so you might experience some last minute trail openings due to substantial melting...haven't seen what the high country looks like north of town. But along with that, prepare for crazy hot if you're down at Durango's elevation during the day.
So you are saying no AC is gonna suck this year

Not gonna get my ac working for this trip... And I see it's gonna be 100 going across Nebraska too... Good thing I like to sauna!!
It's gonna be rough all over the place. I'll be heading out super early to beat most of the AZ/NM heat.
All worth it in the end!
It'll probably be nice up at higher elevations.

Not looking forward to the drive across nevada and Utah with the heat.
Getting the Air con fixed on the 60 to make it much cooler fingers crossed.

I won't be pushing hard to save tires. Nebraska all the way to Denver is a wasteland of wheat or less
I was crossing Nebraska at dusk once years ago with my mom. Flat as a pancake and then we see a dirt lot with a fence around it, and in the middle a little lump of dirt 30’ round and about 5’ tall. There were some goats in the dirt lot and one of them was standing on top of the hill. We joked that it was the highest point in the state and likely it’s only topographical feature, which made that goat the King of Nebraska. We laughed about that for hours and hours on our way to Ohio.
So if you’re crossing Nebraska keep an eye out for for that little dirt mound with the King of Nebraska somewhere between Kearney and North Platte on I-80.

Hey ya'll! I'm late to the party and planning has never been my strong suit. 
Was there a second group camp spot for those of us who missed the KOA boat? I know someone mentioned the Ouray Inn, but doesn't look like Guinness is welcome there.... Otherwise, just gonna roll in Sunday night and wing it, which is fine too. Drives the Husband crazy though....
