hey jim
make sure you are winterized on the way back, we are supposed to get snow on wed/thurs, but you won't be here til fri. we are going out on sat for a trick or treat ride. planning on CC. can anyone get on your lake (standley right?)or are they closed now?

congrats on reaching senior status.

Yah, I plan on draining the engine/ cooling system tomorrow before I leave Thursday. I just returned from Phoenix Sky Harbor Airport and dropped the wife off . She caught an earlier flight back to beat the snow storm . I hope I have a good uneventful trip back. Standley lake closed the end of Sept.

Hey Jimmobius, Stay there for a couple days if you can! We got slamed last night and more through thursday pm! I was just thinking about not winterizing our mobius till this hit! What was the water temp down there? Was thinking about making a late trip that way..... Thinking not so much now!

[jimmobius]

Yah, I don't know which way I will be traveling yet .I might be up your way through UT 191 , to GJ tomorrow or, I 40 - I 25 N . I don't know yet. I have been checking the weather report and road reports and the front range is looking like it is getting a little snow. If I come up your way will you be around Thursday? Let me know. Jim.

Aintskeered, if you check roosevelt lake marina it will give the weather report and current temps . Also long range forecast , which looks to be back up in the 80's by early next week. Today here is 50's and sunny . Jim.

jim,
good luck with either way you take. i'm sure you have talked to your wife in town, but we are slammed here today.

if it was me, i would go I40/25 and stay out of the mtns. go to Abq thurs, then finsih fri, you would probably have better travel.

i think 191/GJ I70 will be in rough shape for a few days to come.

though meeting skeerd would be good too, take his suggestion and stay a few more days!

[jimmobius]

Thanks for the advice . I will check the weather/road reports tomorrow to see whats up.
Jim.

Well I made it back ok. I decided to go the I 40 -I 25 route and drop the boat off at Rocky Mountain Boat Co. in Pueblo where I bought the boat and have some work done on it. By the way they are really great people to work with . I ran into some weather ( snow storm ) I 40 on the divide , and then Friday Raton Pass was messy on the Colorado side , rest of the trip was good roads. It was good to get away and enjoy the Az weather , most likely I will be back in the future. Lake Roosevelt is really a nice size lake to go to not too small or big, nice campgrounds no showers though. If you are self contained camping it is pretty good. There is also a motel down the valley a little ways too. Water conditions just fantastic. There were more water fowl than people and boats!!
