[VAL] VAC in CO: Routing advice thanks; brief report

[Rob Super <robsuper@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

First: Thanks to all of you (you know who you are) who offered routing 
advice for our first long trip (CA to Manitou Springs for the 5th 
Annual Rocky Mountain Rally) in our mostly-rehabbed "Sibill". FWIW, we 
kind'a took the chicken route east (via Laramie) in order to avoid the 
major passes until we had chance to feel out how the rig handled some 
more moderate stuff. Bottom line: the F-150 did GREAT--we therefore 
took a somewhat more adventurous route back west and were again very 
pleased w/how it all went. (Dets on request, but no point in being 
boring/promoting snoring.)

Second: What a great experience was our first VAC rally! Being 
generally "group adverse", we approached it w/much trepidation and 
ended up having a fab time. Made some most excellent new friends 
(again: you know who you are), learned a bunch, saw more primped and 
pimped Airstreams than we can recount, picked up multi-ideas, ate and 
drank well--yadda, yadda, yadda--kudos to The Organizers-- and 
heartfelt thanks

	To the "Coal Creek" and "Fat Tire" crews
	who contributed their splendid brews
	for dawn's bright rays and evening's hues.

Bravo,

Rob & Sadie
