Yea, they're calling for snow here tomorrow night too. Springtime in the Rockies . Bob and I had already decided to leave from Junction and go down through Moab and Monument Valley. It adds about 120miles to my trip, but we do an end run around the San Juans. Went over Red Mountain Pass last week (in a cage), and the road is in terrible shape, chunks missing from the edge in places.(That's bad, because there's no shoulder, no guardrail, Nothing for about 900' down.) So all in all, the longer way is probably better this year.
