Unfortunately, it seems that Jim assumed that we'll be coming in on I-70.
Jim, any suggestions if we're coming across I-80, probably using I-76? How
painful is it to just stay on I-76 right to I-25? I see on the map that this
goes right through the downtown core, so I'm guessing it isn't pleasant.

Any other way around this? I'm just looking at Mapquest here... for example,
what's this highway 71 that runs from Brush to Limon? Any idea if it's a
decent road, or gravel two-track? Mapquest tells me it's 75 miles, and
estimates 1 hour and 44 minutes.

Just curious if there's a better way.
