Great a fellow pilot! We just sold our RV6A.....but bought a boat! I enjoyed working in LC but glad to not be doing that drive every day. Skiing still terrible not just here but every where. Love the motorcycle thing also! Like I told Baywatch give a pm if you get up this way and we can get a beer!

We will be leaving here May 21 and heading back up to Utah and Colorado. I will give a shout just before we head out and maybe we can meet up. We always make at least 2 stops in Salida at that Mexican Resturant on the East side of town on highway 50. They really have some good eats and their Mar-gee-ritas are to kill for. One will usually get you pretty do-do faced.

Most guys with performance boats hang at either Chatfield Res or Pueblo res. I hang out with a group of about 10 guys all with mostly 30' and larger......formula, baja, donzi, eliminator cats, advantage, scarab, etc..... if we're not on chatfield we're down at Peublo.
The water temps at peublo are nice and toasty, and It's almost like a mini lake Powell (which is also one of the best places to go on an 8 hour drive!)

Hey guys, good to see more people from CO...Can't wait for this weather to clear up so I can get the boat out. Trying to work on some last minute winter projects. We are going to have to get together this spring/summer for sure.

Yeah spring is around the corner & my winter project is far from complete. Need to shift focus from snowmobiling to boats. Haven’t been down to Pueblo yet but some friends have been down a couple times already. A spring fling meet & greet down there would be cool.

If you guys run into a dude either out or Pueblo or Colorado Springs that has a blue/white Baja 320...he has had it up for sale for a long time. I was very interested in it, but after many attempts to contact him, I finally said screw it. Let him know that he "blew it" by not answering his phone or emails.
I tried to swim up there one time in one of your lakes...daaaa-emmmmmmmm...my thingy drawed up so tight, I had to squat for a week to pee. I dont know how you guys stand that cold water.

Your headed to the lake and I'm headed to your neck of the woods to visit my son (WSC student) and get a few more days of skiing in before the boating season starts.

I caught a good size storm at Taos in Feb for a some excellent powder days. LOTO should definitely be on your bucket list. If you make it our way give us shout we'd be happy to show you around and share a few cold ones.

Hey felllers, I live in Salida, going to Pueblo in two weeks to play, if your in, let me know!!! The only thing that sucks about boating in CO is the fact that you have to winterize after every trip in the spring cause you never know whats coming!! Will be doing a lot of Blue Mesa(cold but a beautifull lake) this spring/summer, and a lot of Navaho lake.If ya want to hook up, let me know.
