My very first pic in Colorado was right in front of that sign with the 40 on the trailer when we moved to Denver in June last year!
I developed something loose between Jackson MS and Monroe LA in the front. I think it is the sway bar bolt in the driver side needing to be cranked down. I just got to the hotel and will check it in the morning.
Aaron I know you said something about checking out the Arkansas river up here. It is gorgeous. We are staying in Salida tonight and there is an "Arkansas Headwaters Rec Area" you may want to check out. We are staying in a kick ass old school hotel in Poncha Springs actually but went in to Salida for dinner. Awesome riverside food!
So gonna do that!!! I might need some details so I can reserve a room probably Monday night.
This is pretty much exactly what we will have a available. But with privacy tents and twinkle lights.
Wow...you are way back there. Me and the boy have already swam in the pool, ate dinner, bowled a game and played some video games in the casino. Now it's bed time!

Made it to ABQ about an hour ago. Long day, left home at 07:00 this morning and (with exception for fuel) only stopped once for dinner in Roswell. Now have to wait for buddies flight to get in at 12:00 to pick him up at the airport. I'm ready for sleep!
My final mileage numbers from my door to Ouray were pretty good.
My predicted distance was 1920, actual was 1915. That's a complete fluke because we really changed up the route adding Pikes Peak yesterday and Marshall Pass today. PP added miles but Marshall reduced miles, albeit Marshall was 10-30mph tops for 30+ miles.
Predicted fuel$ was $480 and so far I'm at $517. I did pretty good on MPG estimates, maybe a little conservative but I was low on fuel costs. I had $3.50 as an average and I have got to be closer to $3.80+.
MPG's so far are 14.8-14.9 consuming 129 gallons over 1915 miles. That's not bad again considering the addition of 2 low MPG runs yesterday and today.
This is with 35's, 4:88's bumper,skids,winch, family of four, luggage, yakima bukcet on top, fridge and AO drawers. No complaing here! I def think the 4:88's saved me some fuel BTW. No doubt I would've seen 2nd gear on many of my 3rd gear pulls.

I thought I saw a couple sweet rides come in right as we were kicking it last night. Everybody taking all this time check out their rigs makes me nervous that I didn't really check that deep...ha! Nothing like driving halfway across the country in a 12 year old vehicle and only replacing the battery, wipers, and oil change. Either that's great engineering or stupidity on my part.
I hit something in Mississippi and drove across Texas with a bad drone and pulling to the right.
