Well I leave tonight, the trip I tried to take last year but couldn't quite get the new motor in and running in time. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif)
The new motor is in and running excellent, new shocks, tires, elephant racing bushings, brakes, and a whole lot of rust repair, painting and clean up, and a year later. Leaving at 2:00am heading for Las Vegas, stay there Thursday get some rest, then on to Albuqurque Friday - Sunday with my son and two grandsons (IMG:style_emoticons/default/piratenanner.gif) Then Sunday night leaving for Atlanta Tx, to visit my Daughter and two granddaughters.

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/agree.gif) with Mark. The thing about the high desert isn't so much about the temperature (it gets hotter elsewhere, or at least as high temp-wise) as it is a problem of reduced heat removal with the lower density air we have round here. Low density, low mass of air, which means reduced heat removal. So logically air flow needs to be increased. Lower air density, and thus ambient pressure, could affect or exacerbate vapor lock too. Probably need a "high altitude air flow increase" kit put together or at least a thread of advice for RRC and Rt66 events!
