Just curious how bad is it to drive 70 all the way across Colorado. We will be in a class A motorhome, Coachmen Encounter, 38' gas, with no toad. Any recommendations or insight would be helpful and appreciated.
Thanks
In addition to the other answers, depends on WHEN you're doing this. If it's any time soon, keep an eye on the weather forecast. Here on the "east coast" side of Colorado where it's been raining steady for the past 24hours or so, there are flash flood watches/warnings out. For the High Country, there's winter storm watches/warnings, with the snow level along the Front Range (the first set of mountains you come to headed westbound) dropping to 8000 feet. Supposed to get a break later this week, but another round over Memorial Day weekend, with potential snow again in the mountains.
Currently it's 44 degrees on this East Coast side in Loveland, hasn't been much different all day today. Barely gonna get out of the 40s tomorrow, and looking at only 50s for Memorial Day weekend down here, which could mean colder "up there". Headed to a graduation shindig on Saturday in Conifer, forecast calling for only 50 with a 60% chance of showers.
Maybe, just maybe....we'll get some warmer weather here soon. So far, we haven't beat 80 by much any time this spring.
