We're driving in from Chicago, picking up a body in Iowa City. We're going to try and get from Chi-town to Denver in one shot, then spend a couple days driving from Denver to Telluride, arriving at Illium on Tues/Wed. Can't wait for the fest or the drive.

Wait....does road trippin' from Denver count.  I'm mean the road trip is a state of mind that can not be quantified by miles/hours....right?


Wed. morning Morrison->Illum.  We're stoked!

When driving at night; Watch out for the critters, a single deer or Elk can make your vacation plans change very quickly.

  Jay from Steamboat here.  I'm hitch-hiking around NC right  now, going to see Todd Snider tonight in Asheville.  The President is here, too.  Now this is the way to road trip.  Hitching all the way back to CO for TBF.  Someone pick me up.

I'm stopping in Memphis as well for blues and BBQ - will be there night of June 8th.

I've done both the Sand Dunes and Mesa Verde and both are great. If you can only do one then it depends on what you want to do more.

The Great Sand Dunes are incredible, you get to hike them, slide on them, feel the incredible wind, camp near them, etc.

Mesa is also beautiful but more ruins, cave dwellings, artifacts, a tour, etc.

So you can't go wrong with either, just depends on what you are looking for. Mesa is a couple hours closer to T-ride than the Dunes in case that matters.

 Wave Lived in CO since '79. You can't go wrong no matter which route you choose. Nothin better than travelin across the country. You just can't see it when you fly- you miss the whole REAL world when you fly past it! If you're new to Telluride, you won't believe the beauty of the box canyon and the 14er's. You're in for a real treat. Have fun on your way!!! Cheers
