Feels good to see the sign.  About 150 more miles to Denver.  Should be under 2 hours at this pace.

How was your 420 mile drive thru Kansas?? Did you get stopped by the Po-Po like I did for doing 83 in a 75??

Correct. You see the Colorado sign and then it's still 2 more hours of flat nothingness

Nah I had the cruise at 82.  I covered 164 miles in two hours at one point.  Not a single slow down 😂

Say hi to @skiincy while in Denver. I'm itching to get back West again. Can't wait to keep following this thread. 

[AtomicSkier]

After 12hr 15min of elapsed time I made it from St Louis to Denver covering 835miles in the process.  Beautiful afternoon here.  Went for a quick 4 mile run now getting boozed up at a friends house.  @GrilledSteezeSandwich knows him.

Well done lad, that's 10 minutes faster than Google Maps even with fuel stops. You must have stopped doing your breaks every 2 hours. I try to only stop once every 350 miles for gas and dont drink anything so I dont have to stop a lot to make pee.

When I drove to Bozeman Montana I took 4.5 days to get there and 3.5 days to return.

Somewhere in CO.  Had to get it out before I went for a run.

En route to Telluride! Just did an AM ski at ABasin. windy but good to break up the 6 hour drive

Woke up a beautiful morning in Denver after a great dinner and celebratory drinks with a college buddy who just had his first child and just landed a big new job.  Went for a nice 8 mile run on the High Line Canal Trail.  Hit the road around 9:15am enroute to Telluride.  It was 50F when I left under sunny, albeit windy, skies.  About an hour into the drive when I was on a plateau the crosswind was over 50mph, causing insane blowing snow that I was losing touch with the car that was pretty close in front of me.  Luckily that only lasted for about 20 miles.  I really enjoyed some of the sweeping passes on the way to Montrose 😀.  Quick stop in Montrose for some food, and then hammered down to Telluride.  Weather is beautiful here.  Settled in, just waiting for @Barb to drop by in a few.  Yes, @Barb.  Don't want to be accused of leaving out @Barb.  Also, @skiincy should be here in an hour or so.

Great night with the ladies of PASR + @Barb’s friend.  Hopefully @Barb forgives me for not mentioning her.

I think @Barb is a forgiving person. I don’t know @Barb well, but I’d be willing to bet that @Barb would forgive you.

Your Lincoln log game is strong. That’s a nice chalet.
