So how far on I-70?

All the way to Grand junction will put you due north of Ouray. There is a nice twisty drive through the Delores River Canyon you can access from the G J route. I always come down that way when going thru to the Junction.Or you can shoot straight down the main route, never been that way.
The I-70 drive is beautiful.

Either way, drive safe and watch out for others who don't, and i'll see you at the KOA.

I'm trying to get 47f just so an outside doesn't get it. If I do get 47f, someone can have my 52c.
Nobody replied when I emailed the KOA.

So as it stands, site 47F is still available. Someone should grab this site.

No time for email. Call them. I have raised Dave on the phone twice this past week. Do It.

I'm off like a herd of turtles... Hopefully at the KOA around 9-10pm to drop in and meet some people. I'm staying the night in Montrose. If it's late I'll go direct to my room. Once people have talked about something for Monday am, please let me know. My mobile is four hundred thirty-five, 8 ninety nine, o four o four. I'll get back to the KOA around Monday 830am, regardless.

I am in Tulsa, OK this week for business.
I have thought about on Friday, driving over...but that 14 hours further and 22 hours on Sunday back home. :(
As much as I want to, I need to take a Big Boy Pill and come home at the end of the week.
