Cool up there this morning, a low of 41-degrees. It should look something like this upon my arrival...

The challenge is the 2-day drive on our interstate system to get up there. I've tried several alternative routes but... for overall efficiency (fuel, time, & general comfort) the interstates still rule. I-80 can be pretty bad, but I-35 is usually very nice. Anyway....this is how it starts (heading east from our home here in Colorado).

Is it just me or is it hard to balance these two worlds?
