Thanks to everyone giving me an on the road education, I was able to make it home safely. As shown here: http://imgur.com/DIgWn7E
I do have a question. When I was about halfway around Denver, I noticed that the engine was beginning to run a little rougher with less umph. I attributed it to the altitude as it got worse as I got higher. My current home is at about 7200 feet and I was barely able to make it there. By the time I got to the driveway I had it floored and was going about 12 mph. Unfortunately, our new home is about 1000 feet higher and I can guarantee that it won't make it there running like it is.
So, short of installing fuel injection (which IS on the list, but the new home purchase has to come first) what can I do to the carb/engine to get it running a bit better at altitude?
