Road Trip out west, Meet for beers?
« on: June 07, 2009, 09:56:43 AM »
I'm Driving to Portland, Eugene, San Fran, LA, Grand Canyon, Monument Valley, FT. Collins, Then Back to Sweet Home Chicago.

Anyone want to Meet up for a Brewski??

Leaving Chicago This Tuesday, Then Portland on Thursday or Friday. Eugene Friday night through Sunday Morning. Then Off to the Red Woods, everything in between and back home by the 23rd. O' June.

Any Takers or Must See Stops?

Yeah, we drink beer in and around Denver.  ;D  Just depends on when.

Map this out and look them up. Monument Valley (unforgettable) US163N/E, US191N/E, Right at Monticello on US491N, CO184E to Delores, CO145N to Telluride. This stretch is awesome. Camp in Telluride. CO145W, CO62E/N, US550N, US50E, US285N, US24N, CO82 across Independence Pass (another unforgettable) in Aspen, I70E, US40N, across Berthoud Pass, US34E through Rocky Mountain National Park via Trail Ridge Road (unforgettable) into Estes Park then onto Ft Collins or Heffay's place in Lafayette. He won't mind  ;)

Bring warm gear. Those 12,000 ft passes can get cold.

Are you riding or driving?  I kind of got the inference that you are cageing it on this trip. Great trip on two...

Silver falls state park just east of Salem, Or. is exceptional.
Google it, it's on the way from Portland to Eugene and not very far out of the way.

Looks like you'll miss Santa Fe by a few hours - Too bad because the barman at the El Matador sells tequila by the glass.
