Very interesting!! I flew my Alon from Grand
Junction to Denver through Corona Pass, once, but with the load I had, I didn't
have the courage to visit the nice folks that live in Telluride! You are
exploring the envelope of adventure in the great traditions of private
flight. I also am encouraged that you did so with proper flight
planning. Keep up the good work, Richard, and show people that a properly
maintained and carefully planned Ercoupe adventure is still possible, Thanks for
the pictures, and Congratulations!!

We know I am not the brightest guy on the block or is that crayon in the box. I showed this when I took 904 in to Aspen a few years ago, but this time I even out did myself. I took 904 in to Telluride at 9078 msl. I not only got in, but I got out. I have posted some photos and text at http://www27.brinkster.com/n99904/images/Telluride/what_a_rush.htm. To be honest, I wouldnt recommend it in a Coupe. Density altitude was about 8,300 ft. It is amazing what cold weather can do for you.
