Drove down up Wolf Creek Pass as the group leader for the last leg of D4C. Then over to Chromo leading the caravan where we blasted it before cruising to Chama. A brief stop and then another blast up over Cumbres Pass really was a neat section before we pulled off to hike Duck Lake trail. Felt like the perfect route speed wise for the 540i. Then saw the oldest church in Colorado before cruising back into South fork for the night where we had dinner at Ted's vacation home up some dirt roads.

The drive for D4C 2019 from GJ up and over the Grand Mesa to Cedar Edge for lunch. We had done a short hike before then going over to Crawford for a group meetup. I lead the caravan down the Black Canyon in a spirited manner and then cruised into Gunnison. Checkec in at the hotel and then the did the Ice Cream social. The next morning we went to the group meetup at Blue Mesa before the blast into Lake City, CO. Overall did some spirited driving up Slumgullion Pass on a sweet excursion. Stopped in South Fork and filled up the next morning after the awards and social evening. Car overfilled with gas so I don't know exactly how much fuel it took.

50 miles from Longmont home on our way back from WY funeral. Then a few weeks where the car was driven to work once or so. Ted drove the car down south so that he could have his red 318is worked on near me. He had it sit for a few weeks before driving it back to grandma's for Easter. His car had a brake caliper bolt back out and the 540i rescued us. Then we drove the 540i back home. This was maybe 200 miles. Then we took the 540i up to Estes park with Allan an Adrienne for a belated birthday. I filled up in Estes with a range of 2 miles.

From Walsenburg south to Raton Pass. Then across to Cimarron and Eagles Nest and Taos, NM. Got stuck behind slow traffic on the route and NM highway's don't have good passing zones. Visited Walmart for a dog leash and then a couple hotels (Don Fernando and Sagebrush Inn). Meth with Joe and Joshua to discuss D4C. After the meeting we ate at a mexican restaurant up the street and then headed to the edge of the mountains to stay the night in a cabin in Lama, NM. In the morning, we drove back to Taos for breakfast with Carl G before driving up to Taos Ski Valley to see what is there. The return trip home brought us past San Luis, CO and the road US-160 was more interesting there than most of NM. We stopped in Monument again for gas and a coffee (ARA's bday). with 490 miles traveled. Gauge showed 29.4mpg and 40 miles range left.

Drove up to Vail for a ($$) night away. Explored the village area after a hike with the dog up near Climax Moly. Drove the car back and took it work a few days, but mostly it sat inside as I prepared the E28 for D4C with test drives. Took it to Fort Collins to explore the nature area near the reservoir up there and then drove the car to fill up just before a work dinner downtown.
