The road through your windshield

jaws said

Wife and I went for a drive in the hills. Drove up through FairPlay and on to Leadville, for you low lander Leadville is at 10270 ft above sea level. Then back east through the Eisenhower tunnel that’s 2 1/2 miles long.

That eastward incline combined with high elevation up to the Eisenhower tunnel was brutal to my 1967 Chevy II six cylinder with 1 bbl carb and smog pump.

It would slow to a jogger’s pace. I was afraid to stop, fearing I wouldn’t be able to get going again. Soooo slow!

Elevation is a hell of a thing.
