road trip

[tonycarreon]

leaving tomorrow for copper mountain, colorado. should arrive on thursday and spend the weekend there. start the return trip on monday. around 3600 miles round trip. this will be the first time for the boxster to visit the states of iowa, nebraska and colorado.

according to google maps, the "suggested" route is north along the ohio and indiana state lines, passing near chicago and then on. i'm not yet certain if that's the way i'll go. a run-in with an indiana state trooper on the same stretch of I80 back in january requires me to keep my record clean in the state for another 7 months.

usually on my road trips i end up leaving around noon. i think this time i will try to head out early!

I live in Colorado about 45 miles SW of Denver and my folks still live in Rockford, IL. I've made that trip at least a dozen times and always use the route you show. From the Chicago area at least, it is the fastest way out here. Too bad you have to drive across Iowa and Nebraska - (I think the only thing worse is Kansas). At least after you get through Denver the roads start to get interesting.
Have a good trip and I'm sure you will enjoy that Bozster when you get out here.

I used to drive that route between home in Denver and Indiana (school). There's not much interesting to see through eastern Colorado, Iowa and Nebraska, sorry residents, but there just isn't. At least Iowa is hilly.

If you have the time, you could take the northern route through Wisconsin, Minnesota, S Dakota and Wyoming. Much prettier scenery.

I've been in Seattle for 8 months now and am really missing Colorado's roads. But not the heat wave they're having.

Have a good trip!

Who was it that told me to check my spare tire before starting my road trip??? I also carry a kit for tire repair but that was not much help with the damage I had.

Have fun, I am!

I like the "Additional Parking" sign in the background...can someone photoshop in a sign in tony's row that reads "Porsche Parking"?
