Re: Abnormal approval time.

You could have probably flown your family home, and then flown back to pick up the MH for less than that.0Views0likes0CommentsRe: Estes Park & Roccky Mtn Natl Park
34 is really not rustic - it's a paved two lane road, albeit without shoulders in most places. I would say take 34 through Granby & go all the way through park, visit the Alpine Visitor Center & enjoy the sites. Thousands of people drive the road everyday, and majority of them are what Coloradoans call "flatlanders" - people with minimal mountain driving experience from places like Kansas or Nebraska. As you are, they are here to visit Colorado & see our beautiful landscape. To do that, you have to drive some twisty roads - it's part of the experience! Don't over think it - just enjoy the drive! I wouldn't drop all the way south to I-70, traffic & driving on I-70 can be more stressful than on the smaller mountain roads where the pace is much calmer. I-70 through the mountains can be compared to the Indy 500 sometimes...365Views0likes0CommentsRe: LED Strip Lights Under Awning
If you're using the LED lights off amazon that come from 'overseas', I've heard several people say that the tape supplied with the strip doesn't hold very well. As a workaround, I've heard people using black silicone to hold the strip in place, but when all else fails, there's always 3M VHB tape. I picked up some 3M Extreme Mounting tape that says it's suitable for indoor or outdoor use, but haven't had a chance to install my LEDs yet, so I can't speak to it's suitability.397Views0likes0CommentsRe: Estes Park & Roccky Mtn Natl Park
If you come to Cheyenne & then head to the park, you'll be backtracking quite a bit. I wouldn't worry too much about the storms, they are typically intermittent in the park, and move out quickly. Though this year has been wetter than usual (2.5+ inches at our house just last night), it's just rain. Rocky Mountain National Park is truly beautiful, so if you have a chance to see it, by all means you should. Unfortunately, if you're under a time constraint, getting to the park from your typical route of across 80 & down 25 means you're going to add time to your travels. If you can afford the time, my recomendation would be to head south off I-80 at exit 187 to Craig, CO, and then head east on 40 to Granby, where you'd get on 34 all the way through the park, down Big Thomspon Canyon to Loveland, and out to I-25 to continue on your journey.366Views0likes0CommentsRe: Estes Park & Roccky Mtn Natl Park
Road through the park was pretty much unaffected by last fall's floods, so no worries there. Are you wanting to stay in Estes Park itself, or are you passing through? If you're not RVing & looking into hotels/motels, Estes has a full range of accomodations, everything from flop motels to high end uber-expensive B&B's. Estes is a tourist town, so your prices are going to reflect that.366Views0likes0CommentsRe: Estes Park & Roccky Mtn Natl Park
Yes, highway 34 from Loveland to Estes Park is open. There is quite a bit of construction happening (not all related to the road) in the area, but it's still a beautiful drive! Please note that there are slow vehicle pulloffs available in many spots up the canyon - please use them if you have a stream of cars behind you!365Views0likes0Comments
