    And I70 was a shitshow today, both ways to Denver. CDOT warning that the tunnel was closed, after the point of no return. Gee thanks guys. Fire closed the canyon too for my way back up. Driving around Denver sucked too. I don't know how people do it on a daily basis. Luckily there are lots of breweries.

    It saves your brain and focuses you on why you are driving west.

    What more do you want. You can take a deep breath, look to your right, and in the back, and be like, This is why I live in Colorado, for a bit.

    Tunnel closed for a crash, an SUV was trying to board slide the guardrail and was still perfectly balanced there when I drove by. Fire was in Clear Creek somewhere, don't know the details but it closed the canyon.

    I was riding Centennial Cone from the Mayhem Gulch TH in the Canyon yesterday afternoon. Must have just missed the fire.

    I could see smoke from Denver around 4pm. Drove the canyon around 11am on the way down and nada.

    Understandable. But damn they put a lot of time in for improving it half the year.

    Officially they shortened it by two miles. There are two sections of reroute.

    They did a nice job hiding it. There is one up by the top that I can see. I still haven’t seen the lower one but apparently you can tell if you look closely.

    I'm just here to say I had a completely drama-free day on I-70 yesterday, both heading up to Eagle County, and returning...

    What is the official way to tell someone their light aren't on?
    I flash people from behind and get flipped off or flashed when I pass.
    I'm all like, how the fuck does your dash light up and your tail lights dont? Is this a new thing?

    And jesus H kryst, if you're driving a trailer, check the connection and make sure its on.
    the drugs made me realize it's not about the drugs

    OFFICIAL I70 BITCH THREAD....

    FU to the asshole today driving an enormous Winnebego, towing a pickup, going 40 in the middle lane, passing semis going 40 in the right lane, going WB by Lookout Mtn. Fuck you for swerving out and almost causing a chain reaction of crashes from cars going the speed limit trying to avoid your dumb ass and each other. How many miles per gallon do you get with that caravan? 5?! Fuck you.

    Tourist season is never over when the most scenic E/W interstate runs right through Colorado. They'll keep coming forever....

    This applies to truckers delivering your commodities and packages as well...
