| 1233128 | 2011-09-23 02:11:00 | Tomorrow at Dark:30 I leave Snowflake Arizona for Windsor, Colorado. That's 750+ miles and about a 12-13 hour drive if I stay at the posted speeds. maps.google.com |

| 1233131 | 2011-09-23 04:36:00 | I looked at the map. Looks like mountainous terrain. Is it part of the Rockie Mountains that you are in? That distance would be similar to me travelling from Invercargill at the bottom of the South Island to Picton at the top of the South Island. That is a long trip for most Kiwis. |

| 1233132 | 2011-09-23 04:45:00 | Thanks - this will be the third longest part of the trip . I know youse guys in NZ don't get a TV show called 'Dives, Diners and Drive-Throughs' ( . about . com/od/foodanddrink/tp/dinersdriveinsdives . htm" target="_blank">phoenix . about . com), but there was a restaurant in Glendale Arizona that got some pretty good reviews for their NY style pizza . It was great! It was the sole reason why I went to that town . . about . com/od/restreview/gr/lapiazzaalforno . htm" target="_blank">phoenix . about . com |

I've got some climbing to go - up to about 13,000 feet and of course Denver is called 'Mile High City' for a good reason. On the part of the trip to Missoula Montana, I'll climb over The Continental Divide where the US drops to the Atlantic and the Pacific ocean from this position. A raindrop if it landed on the top, would be split 50% and each half your go to their respective oceans. |

| 1233134 | 2011-09-23 05:59:00 | My son and his family are off to the US for a 6 month exchange next year SJ. They will be based near Denver (which he knows well, having lived there on two previous occasions). | John H (8) | ||
| 1233135 | 2011-09-23 08:24:00 | Google suggests it will take 2 days and 13 hours of solid cycling to cover that distance ... :p Interesting, there are only 11 steps (directions) from A to B to cover that distance. I can do 11 steps just to get onto the motorway. :rolleyes: |

| 1233136 | 2011-09-23 19:12:00 | Sitting in a restaurant just North of Pueblo, Colorado, eating, gassing up and hitting the restrooms. This is an Indian casino, but fortunately there's no smoking in it --- like all of the state of California. They're on a different timezone too - so we lost an hour of daylight. Should be at our next destination by 8PM, driving at 120-130KPH - the legal speed here. I'll check in later. BBL. |
