So while at the cabin I wrestled with whether or not to continue west
to Utah for 5 more nights. Afraid of medical and travel risks, etc.
But finally decided what the heck, and went for it. Still didn't get
up early enough Tuesday morning, and it took nearly 3 hours for all
logistics, so I didn't leave until after 11 am.
I drove on around via Fairplay, learned that I-70 west was closed,
continued north over Hoosier Pass through Breckenridge (more moose)
to Frisco for lunch anyway (rather than the recommended detour through
Buena Vista and Leadville), while it rained. I figured if nothing else,
I'd enjoy the drive and turn east from Frisco. But eventually the
highway opened, the backlog cleared, and I went west... Hitting two
more big traffic jams that afternoon... It's just not like it was years
ago. Because of that, I stopped at a cheap motel in Grand Junction for
the night.
