Colorado ZuZoo 2006 Convoy!

[Locomigo]

Two words:

Dos Hombres.

Glenwood West exit, then backtrack on the frontage road 1/2 - 3/4 mile.

Although, I thought I had read that the meeting location/lunch would be in GJ. Not that it matters much to me as I will already be in Moab >;- )~, just trying to help out...

Gosh, thanks for the heads up, everybody. You rawk!

Maybe if we make Glenwood Springs before 10 pm on the 3rd we'll have a go at the Bayou. If not, we'll check out Dos Hombres on the way out. As far as knowing when or where we'll be we're going to be doing 760 miles tomorrow (mostly straight thru Kansas, but I imagine things might slow a bit once we hit Denver). And since the Proton I just bought has a tranny pan and oil pan leak, and some other things the Isuzu dealer here needs to look over before we can get on the road for a 1400+ mile trip, there's no ETA on when we're heading out.

But, that being said, they definitely know what a VX is. I had just pulled into the Isuzu dealer's lot when a salesman came over and asked "You want to sell that? You want to trade it in? Those things are rare, especially that color." He was very disappointed when I said I had just bought it and was driving it to California.

If you get held up in Denver and want/need a break, drink etc.. gimmie a call, be happy to meet up with ya.

303-478-7568 (leave a msg and I will call back)

I agree with "Dos Hombres" in Glenwood Springs for your lunch if it works for the group. It's good food, and plenty of space to stretch out inside or outside (although parking is tight).

If y'all decide to eat in Grand Junction, there are many restaurants available close to the meeting place, but we should all still plan on meeting at the Shell station on Horizon Drive.

Let me know what you guys think. I am flexible for anything.

Hey there, Locomigo!
Hunny here with an update on WyldWeasel's whereabouts. Currently deep in west Kansas on I70, hoping for Denver around midnight, mountain time. Got a late start out of the dealer in KC Mo. Breakfast tomorrow, perhaps? On the cell at (805) 217 4695, call anytime. Looks like the Weasel will be up late.

Update from the Weasel and apologies for this thread hijack but Locomigo's PM quota is full :

Called, but got no reply. Leaving Denver hotel (near airport) around 10 am, will stop in Glenwood Springs (cause I wanna see the caves). Will try you again when I reach Glenwood Springs, maybe we can still hook up.

Just a heads up for those of you who plan on going to Dos Hombres: Passed thru Glenwood Springs yesterday. There is road work on 6th street just off the freeway that might make things confusing for those who are unfamiliar with the area. It's certainly navigable, just a bit distracting.

On a related note, there is road construction through parts of Glenwood Canyon heading west all the way to No Name rest area.

The road construction mentioned earlier in this thread on the Westbound I-70 leading into the 191 turn off to Moab does indeed narrow the road down to 1 lane, and that surface was so bad that it's easier to drive half on the shoulder.

Had scattered thunderstorms last night all thru Utah. But the ambient air temp was very tolerable. It's really nice outside here in Vegas today. Sunny but not scorching. If the weather's like it was yesterday, it should be be very nice for Moab. But then we're talking another 10 days, and anything can happen before then.
