It was my pleasure to have had the opportunity to finally meet John & Wanda 
and to have the opportunity to spend the day with them as well as Howard and 
the McFarlings on the Alpine Tunnel Road. According to my guide the trail was 
rated a 1 with the "only consideration being the steep drop offs". That was 
exactly what I was 'considering' when the party of Jeeps & dune buggies were 
coming downhill. Nowhere to go, but somehow we all found room to pass. Next time, 
Hofs, I'll be looking for that helicopter you mentioned....

For years I've been reading the posts and using the advice of so many on this 
board, that it was worth the 970+ mile trip to Salida just to meet the fine 
people behind them and thank them in person. The show, the meals, and the trail 
trips were all first rate. But what made this show so special was the people. 
Like John said, Eldon is always interested in helping out. He happened by my 
campsite, as I was contemplating the new vibration in my Scout after the prior 
day's run and checked it out. Thanks, Eldon!

It was a pleasure to meet new friends and visit with old friends.I always 
wish I would have had more time to talk with each person, but hey that's what 
next year's for! Hope you all made it back to your respective homes safely. Look 
forward to visiting again soon!
