Not sure where you are at in Colorado, but I spent some time in Cortez, Durango, Silverton, and Ouray and loved it. I'm sure you bus would be right at home in the mountains up there. |
Ya I think it would |

Nice meeting you at KCW Bubba. I'm currently sitting at my computer in Tucson, AZ. My bus is sitting in the back yard itching to get back on the road. Should be back in GJ Tuesday evening. _________________ I'm at the age were "fuck off", "fuck you", and "fuck it" answer most questions. |
