    2008 Colorado Convention.

    I'm nervous as a long tailed cat in a room full of rockin chairs. Do you guys mind not having free time on Saturday? I'd like to pile us all on a bus Sat. Morning, and head for the Rocky Mountains. It'll be a long dang day.

    Ft Morgan, to Estes Park. http://www.estes-park.com/
    over trail ridge road http://www.nps.gov/archive/romo/visi...nicdrives.html
    to grand lake/gramby area http://www.grand-county.com/Grand_Lake.aspx
    then back down hill towards Denver to Cenrtal City/Blackhawk http://www.blackhawkcolorado.com/
    Then a late night drive through Denver back to the Ft Morgan hotel.
    My doctor gave me six months to live, but when I couldn't pay the bill he gave me six months more.

    Well everyone has a year to decide. But I say let the option be open. I know I would love to see the sites but the bf likes to sleep late so he may not even be out of bed till noon. Hell if I can get him on a plane I would be good.

    Thats why I'm asking now. Dice had a bus in Pittsburgh [with a full bar] and it was a gas!

    No, I just really would like to get you guys up to the mountains. Trail Ridge Road goes to almost 13,000 ft. It's pretty rare to be eye to eye with the clouds and still standing on the ground. 65 miles long through some of the most amazing scenery. One of the top 10 scenic mountain drives in the whole wide world I'm sure. Not going to the rockies while in Colorado would be like going to Vermont and not tasting the syrup, or so I think. Ft morgan has nothing to do or see cept alcohol. I gues I could take ya all arrowhead hunting.

    I get all of your e-mails. 10 since April, and I reply every time. It's your computer that kicks mine out.

    We used to vacation there twice a summer when I was in junior and senior high. The path Jack is proposing has phenomenal views. You will absolutely love the tour. I've made nearly the same loop several times. One of my favorite views is above the visitor center at Rocky Mountain National Park.
    Perhaps you should have read the instructions before calling.

    Just google earthed Fort Morgan. From the way it looks we can either go to the mountains or watch corn grow. To the mountains sounds good.

    Spotts many of those green pie things have a slice missing, you been snacking again?


    Find a lodge in the Rockies we can terrorize for a couple of days. Then we can all drive to your place and terrorize your town on Sunday. One day on a bus, and many may not remember seeing the Rockies.
