T-Tom, looks more like they are going to set up camp and tour the area before the bagpipes blow on Thursday.
Just a suggestion...
Get into Telluride anytime, from the Saturday prior to the "actual"
FESTIVVVAAALLL!!! and Tue/Wed., then...
JUST....
STAY....
PUT!
Telluride has many thing to offer families, not to mention the "Town Park" camping experience with the rest of our group of crazy Festivarians, of which you and your family now belong!
How old are the kids? Trust me, they'll still love you after you arrive in Town Park, but they'll want to hang out with their new life long friends of the same age group! And that's OK, because you're about to have the same experience with us big kids!
Welcome to
FESTIVVVAAALLL!!! Auntie Hope
P.S.
About that RV...
The closer you get to FESTIVVVAAALLL!!!, the more limited the parking for big rigs. Spots don't get held for you, and the later in the week, the longer the walk to your rig from Town Park. Park it and play in the canyon area. Trust us, we're not steering you the wrong way on this one. Just plan on being there from at the very latest on Mon/Tue, until packing out the Monday we're all looking forward to
"next year".
