Busskipper - thanks for all the info - and OOPS, yes thought that was a route not a list - lol!
2Gypsies - planning to use that route to Ridgeway and then going from Ridgeway to MOAB vs down to Durango.
Here is where Route sits right now with changes to CO section.
I wanted to change from I-70 (and stops) to 36 but had some reservations for that section so likely leaving to avoid cancellation fees. Hoping Colorado Springs is cool vs. coming in Golden.
I am planning on altering route in Utah a bit - mainly Utah to YNP areas. I think i can base out of Bryce/Zion for most of the other things we want to see there.
