Thanks again Steve, Danny, and Jim. I'll definitely keep an eye on the I-70 corridor. If nothing threatening mid April, this will be our first choice. I will heed everyone's advice and stay clear away from 160. If the weather is against us, we'll travel south via 491 or 371 to connect to I-40. Better safe than sorry.

Brian, our itinerary for the last week is very open. We'll be in the Mesa Verde area for a couple of days. The tours for the Ute Mountain Tribal Park start in April so it may work for us. Seems as if you've already done much of what we're currently chasing. If you don't min, I may PM you (as we go north from Arizona into UT) for additional suggestions and helpful insights. I'm excited as always to plan.

With all the chatter about this Big Texan, I think we'll most definitely have to pay a visit for an early dinner.
