John - Just looked at your route on the map. Check w/ Colorado DOT to make sure there's no construction on 139 between Rangely and the Fruita/Loma/Mack "metroplex". Also, that's a great time of year for thunderbumpers, or even snow over the pass. I mean, if they're willing to dynamite frozen cattle, I'd hate to think what they'd do to itinerant Montanans..., and I'd hate to have to eat all that BBQ by myself.
Also, what do you and Devon want for beverages on Wed. evening?
