Your are correct, not much in the way of places to play pool down that way. If you are looking to really play and possibly find some action, you will have to make the drive to Albuquerque, or even the long drive to Denver. I get down that way every three or four months and I can try to get in touch with you if you want to match up, just let me know. Also, there are some places in Grand Junction, but that is still a pretty good drive, (maybe 4-5 Hours) and there isn't very much action there other than a few guys that will play REALLY cheap sets.
Good luck!!!!!!
