Re: Welcome to Colorado Summits on the Air
HI Walt,
Thanks for sending me the invite to this new group.? It makes sense to have a more localized W0C group. After all, we do have the most Mt Goats of all NA associations ;-).? I do communicate

Re: MT Evans Road and Guanella Pass Roads are open!
I don't consider that a drive up, Brad, since you actually have to gain altitude to get into the activation zone. You need to do Pikes Peak. That's Colorado's signature drive up! How'd the road
