Hey!

I'm still reading messages, but now in Newsgroup format and only once in a
while.

A 2 hour drive from Denver covers a huge area. It includes Cheyenne, Wy and
Pueblo, Co. Within 30 miles of Denver, there are over 13,000 points of
interest (pubs, restaurants, nightclubs, amusement parks, casinos, etc...).

If anything, I should generate one with a 30 mile raduis around... say...
Rocky Mountain National Park just NW of Denver. It has high altitudes and
fire roads.

I could do even Vail, Breckenridge, Aspen (all three probably have decent
spring/fall rates. Summer and Winter are peak tourist season out there.
