Trip report I talked to DavidB via phone yesterday as he was descending the South side of Poncha Pass between Salida & Saguache, CO. He was quite excited about the view & very pleased that he had decided to take the BackRoads across Colo' instead of the FastRoads. He asked me to post this note to the list if I had a moment so here it is. We discussed the rest of his route to Mesa, AZ & I suggested that since he would be passing by the South end of Monument Valley that He might want to consider a short side trip North to see that ~ He seemed to like the idea. His plan was to spend last night in the Duango area & press on to M'V', Sedona & Mesa today. ORR ~ DeanB
