The drive up Pikes Peak is fantastic. Hayes, I can't believe you have never been up there. I hear that they paved the road a few years back, I liked when it was dirt.

Yes the road is paved. I still can't get over the fact that it's 20 miles long. It takes a lot of twist and turns to climb 14,115 feet. I was there in late October and the grass was brown instead green which would have made the view that much better. We could see the smoke from a building that was on fire in a location that was 50 miles away that day.

I wonder if the mountain is 5' taller or if my memory has shrunk. I was thinking the sign in 1960 said the peak was at 14,110'.
Dave Klish, I recently ordered a 2x6 wood fired evaporator from A&A Sheet Metal which I will be converting to oil fired
Now have solar, 2x6 finish pan, 5 bank 7x7 filter press, large water jacketed bottler, and tankless water heater.
Recently bought another Gingerich RO, this one was a 125, but a second membrane was added thus is a 250, like I had.
