Wow, this really takes me back! I used to visit Canon City for work about 20 years ago. Thanks for the reminder of how amazing Royal Gorge is.

Ahhh, yes... It's kind of like the "deadpool" of the amateur radio world, waiting to see which 1x2 or 2x1 passes, or expires, next (and family doesn't claim it for 2 years).

My preferred group size is 2... my wife and I. My next favorite group size is 1. Don't get me wrong, there are some great people that are part of the "overlanding" community and I enjoy spending time meeting those people. But when I am looking to truly relax and take in nature and different...
