Michael, you have agreement from a couple of us about this Southwestern Colorado loop. I note, though, that you are thinking of a trip in February. Even May might be a bit early for the loop we have suggested--June would be better. I am working on some of the other areas I mentioned.
And Jay and Betty, we obviously love some of the same places. I would not recommend that anyone tow over 550. I avoided it for years. But I honestly did not experience any anxiety when I finally did it--and that was in my 84th year! Now maybe . . . Slumgullion Pass ? ?
