I'm panic-planning some alternate routes to and from Palisade through the mountains. I70 has been been closed multiple times the last couple weeks - maybe 10 times. There's not a lot of options through the mountains. It looks like Westbound I70 has a better chance ot being open so I'm planning an alternate route from Palisade to my stop on my first night home-bound, Cheyenne, WY. It looks like most options take me 100+ miles out of my way. I've started following CDOT on Twitter to get the latest updates. A group of Palisade-bound campers have formed a message group so that each person traveling through can alert the rest on what the interstate conditions are.
And starting to wonder how fast the AC will make the T@B livable once I reach my nightly stops. I have stops in Missouri, Kansas and Eastern Colorado on my way out. Temps for those areas look to be 95 - 100 degrees. Ick. People in my Midwestern T@bbers and T@ggers group that were planning on boondocking or parking lot surfing at places like WalMart and BassPro Shops or Cracker Barrel have quickly booked campgrounds. It's just too hot for that.
