Well, here it is 10:35 am, and the low clouds are still making everything IFR up here in beautiful downtown Fort Collins, Greeley, Erie, Longmont, Boulder, Denver, etc. Speaking only for myself, it's a no-go. Sorry, guys--but I think the weather isn't going to clear soon enough if at all. Greeley (where my airplane is hangared) is showing a 600' ceiling. This is not the time to prove that I can still scud run, and I sincerely hope no one else wants to do that, either. Another time. :(

Front range is saying 800 ceiling. Sprinkling rain here at Strasbourg. I'm gonna turn the van around. Sorry y'all. Let's try it again soon.

I’m here. Landed at 11. Little wind out of the east(10-12mph or so). Nobody else here. Looks like others were having trouble with ceilings etc. most of you guys are coming from the north I take it? Bummer, its pretty nice here atm, but the wind was supposed to kick up pretty hard later anyway...

I was planning to fly down, but have been socked in at my place/strip all day. Maybe next time...

Thanks for the good time, it was nice to meet everyone! I bet CO18 doesn't show up on many IFR flight plans.

Ceiling was too low for me and rain. Bummer, this looked like fun!

I was a bit overly optimistic about my free time yesterday but now I don't feel too bad about it. Will try to make the next one!

That's awesome you filed IFR the whole way there! Nice 185 too!

Nice meeting the folks that did make it. We'll try it again another time. Hope for better weather!
