Nice Zep quote, Mike!

My guess is you'll end up coming in on 76 into Denver from 80 up north. My
cell is 720-373-4043.  Feel free to call me as you get close and we can get
hooked up.  I imagine there will be some meeting up here in Denver for some
sort of caravan (caravans?) up the hills Friday afternoon.

Looking forward to seeing you - and everybody else - in a week!

Brandon

As usual the bandwidth on this list is a bit over whelming, I guess I will
need 

to check my spam filter again... Anyway I thought I would add my 2 cents
with 

respect to the forth coming activities next week in CO.

 

So.... I guess if I can get all the stuff done on the car, or at least the
top ten

critical issues, like non functional window, blower motors, brake pads etc

I should be heading off to Glenwood Springs (thanks Brandon) this sort

of time next week.

 

I think my son Matthew is signed up for the trip, I keep trying to explain
the

concept of 24 hours driving, stay for a bit, and then 24 hours driving 

back, he just nods and looks at me like I am speaking another language. Ah

the joys of a thirteen year old.

 

I might hook up with Nathan E. in Chicago on the way but it sounds like he

has a few "issues" and I might leave a bit earlier and try for a more
"relaxed"

drive out there. As traveling back with Pajak promises to be anything but
relaxing...

 

Mapquest says take Hwy  80 West for ~800 miles with a wee stretch on

Hwy 280. It looks fairly direct, any comments on the pros and cons? 

 

I would be interested in hearing from the brave folks on the East coast that

are heading over. It seems like most of the owners here in Canada are a 

bunch of Jessie's and "aren't able to make it".

 

Intelligence reports seem to suggest that a certain pearl white owner may

be doing a bit of work on his car and it would be great to see that one in
the 

flesh. For those on the fence - get off!, and make all the effort folks
have   

put in organizing this worth-while. It would be great if their hard work is 

rewarded with a huge turn out.

 

 

Cheers, Mike Hopton
