Montrose, CO

I use a B36TC in which the TIO-520 has been replaced by a TNIO-550.

Now that you mention this, I remember. You had offered that info back in
early May when I was looking for advice on flying in the front range of
Colorado.

Weren't you going up by Longmont, or Firestone IIR?

How'd that work out?


BTW, what appeared to be the most beautiful country over which I flew
during my trip was located in south central Colorado, just south of
Trinidad.

That would be the Raton Pass area (the CO/NM border).

Head a bit west and you'll see the Sangre de Cristo mountains...really
awesome.

Unfortunately I was VFR and dodging t-storms and cloud layers,
but I had a chance when flying north over the plateau there to enjoy a
moment of scenery.

The San Juan moutains?

? You are very fortunate to be based in such a scenic
state.

I agree. Perhaps the most gorgeous area _anywhere_ is just south of us in
Ouray.

It's a bit of a hassle, flying out of here (13K-14K terrain all around), but
it's worth it!
