yup, I've been over that several times, great road :thumbsup: ... this time, I took US50 to Utah's I-70, just long enough to jump off onto US36, (east of Denver), took that east into IL ... after 31 years of driving the 'highways', I'm extremely fond of lesser-traveled 2-lane backroads ... after my trailer pickup in TX, will run almost all 2-lane, NW towards Reno, NV ... hoping I don't meet blizzards when I go thru Taos, NM area, etc :wtf: ... never too early in the year, to snow at the higher elevations ... :jointsmile:

Nice pics man, keep em comin! I'm just bummed your travels are not taking you up into fall foliage country :(

Keep us updated and have fun image....
