Not me, some family does. I’m attending a Labor Day cookout at their house.

I live in a beige Denver suburb with good schools. :)

Got it. Loved sitting on his deck for hours in the late afternoon and enjoying that view. Salida is better though because no I70.

Can confirm the holy shit aspect of both semi‐truck's carcasses.

Over/under I70 closures starting tonight through Wednesday: I’m going with 7. 4 long ones with unprepared cars sliding off Vail Pass and coming down from the tunnel. Add a few jackknifed semis in there.

First snow of the season, and tail end of labor day weekend. Dispatch is going to be slammed.

Hopefully helps with the fires/smoke.

Not sure it'll get cold enough to freeze on the road but if it does watch out!

This storm has been so publicized I'm guessing that it'll cause a mass exodus today, and the only people making the trip tomorrow will be the ones who have been living under a rock (or in a camper off the grid) for the last week.

Watch out for boats on the shoulder!

There could be lots of boats and campers on the shoulder!

Not i70, but I’m digging the crawl between Tabernash and Fraser - it’s a new feature this year

Thanks Smoova for now blowing it up. Let the front rangers and tourists use a map and figure it for themselves.

Smoova - you’ve triggered a Foggy rant . Stay tuned ....

Just 4x4 over Rollins Pass, through the tundra.
Smooth sailing down to the city.

I70 closed on Friday due to a crash. Wife took her new car over Shrine to get home to Summit from Edwards. So proud, she had a blast.

Yes that's very top secret, no way every idiot with Waze would figure it out unless they were reading this thread

Ha...what do I care how ya'll get home. Once I see your tail lights backing up outside my office window, I know it's time to get some socially distant Sunday afternoon recreation. You are just gonna sit in traffic at the ball fields waiting to turn right anyway.

I survived. And survived the drive home. The googles told me to go left in BV, towards Leadville, and I dutifully complied, after some existential I-70 dread/angst. It worked out ok.

The smoke was insane, the whole drive. Couldn't see the mountains from Taylor Reservoir, couldn't see the mountains from Leadville.

We hit a shitshow heading up 285 at 11:30 Saturday morning. For some reason, I thought everyone would have already gotten up to the mountains by then... but alas.

Traffic on the trail was super-light, which was much appreciated. Campsite was primo.

I found it, I finally found it!

Plume Hill, April something of some year.

My pic of the boat (and one of the 2 or 3 stuck semis in the left lane). That day was so fun at Loveland. Deep powder and everyone laughing about the boat.

April 17th, 2015. I keep it on my phone for the laughs.

I drove by that fucking boat.

good job beater

I can testify that green river to vail was a weather shit show. Not much traffic, but insane wind, never ending downpour, standing water, and a couple nice white outs.

Soldier summit was full star wars and greease this morning.

34 degrees and flurries at the Moab turn off is something I haven't seen.

I was dispatching that day. Glad someone was having fun!

I remember our Fire Chief calling the boat trailer out on the radio, and was happy for once to see what he was seeing.

Same guy got squeezed in a crash he was working in a snowstorm years ago, and ended up with a busted pelvis. That’s dedication!

I remember that boat! What a day, what a perfect I70 mess.
