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


Yes.

How'd that work out?


It worked out well. I landed at Platte Valley Airport and was able to rent
a cheap t-hanger for the two days I visited my brother in Firestone. Fuel
there was attractively priced and the weather remained docile.

However, the airport's 40 foot wide runway was interesting. Despite being
about 1,000 ft above the airport, the narrow runway gave the appearance of
being about 2,500 feet above the airport.

We had dinner and shopped over by Jeffco airport, so I was able to walk in
to one of the FBOs at that airport and have my O2 tanks refilled for a
reduced price versus walking in from the ramp.
