.......from NAPA here. Actually I called a minute ago and they said they had come in. Most stuff comes overnight from Salt Lake City, but they had to order these out of the Denver warehouse, so there should be some close to you. I had to get a 10 pack as they couldn't just order a couple. On the phone now he quoted me $2.29 a piece plus a special order $7.00 shipping. Let me know how much you have to pay over there, I'm interested. I'll look to make that change on the throttle limiter and Mike thanks for your info also. I'm at 6000 feet in Blanding and yes McPhee is suppose to be 7000. You would like it and from what I heard we didn't even get to the pretty part of the lake. The 4 corners here is on what is called the Colo. plateau and this whole area was uplifted recently in Geological terms causing the canyons to be carved into it. At McPhee it looks like the river/lake is running into the mountain instead of out of it. The Dolores river must of been a really old river that wound around coming south out of the mountains and then heading up north to the Colorado river. When the are uplifted it just keep cutting down through it and the sides of the lake as you go down to the dam just keep getting higher and higher. It is really pretty interesting from a geological standpoint. If the river had just cut a few miles further south before it headed north it would have flowed down to the San Juan river. When you enter the lake area all of the high land around it is a drainage south to the San Juan. If us humans weren't here I'll bet sooner or later McElmo creek just south of the Dolores would have cut back into the Dolores and done what is called a "stream capture" on it and the river would of then headed south to the San Juan. I was a geology major before switching to a couple engineering majors and then getting lazy and switching to a teaching degree that I only used a couple years. I was on the 14 year plan in college c ya, Sum
