So what day you guys plan on driving back to AZ?
I'm planning to leave after the Tebo Car Museum Tour on Sunday, 9/16. I've requested Monday 9/17 off from work, so I'll probably make the return drive in two days.So what day you guys plan on driving back to AZ?
Thanks Will. Is that route better than taking the 160 all the way, which is what Google maps comes up with?Hope you all can make it. We have lunch planned in Estes Park on Friday for NSXPO.
When I picked up my car from SOS a few years ago, I drove this route. I did it in one day (with a co-driver), which was pretty grueling. I'd suggest an overnight stop in Cortez or Telluride. Beautiful country in southwest Colorado, great roads too.
If I go, I am planning to drive back sunday sep 16th. I still have not signed up but will decide prior to the 17th when the price goes up. I just realized it is almost 800miles one way!

Google says 14hr drive. Yikes!
If I do end up going I think I will leave like Thursday like 5am and get their around dinner time. I have to work on that Monday so I would probably leave early Sunday morning and skip out on the car museum.
Vivek...if you are up to driving there non-stop with me on that Thursday and driving home Sunday, it would make my decision easier. :biggrin:
Road G is a paved road. The 1-mile driveway to Kelly Place from Road G is unpaved, packed gravel/dirt road (single lane with some pull-outs for dealing with on-coming vehicles).
Vandalism is not a problem whatsoever. There is ample parking, so door dings would not be likely either.
However, you might be concerned about the lack of concrete or asphalt. The other potential issue is that not all parking areas are shaded, so if it is in a hot summer month, you may need some sort of sun protection.
Alternative:
...for those going or considering going to NSXPO 2012
Reliable Transport round trip = $1200
(per car pricing for a 6 car private semi - RT Phoenix to Boulder)
The private semi guarantees arrival/departure date & time
Saves about 30 hours of driving, 1600+ in RT mileage
A round trip flight, PHX to DEN, is about $200 on Southwest right now

one way out or back is ~$600 (assuming 6 cars are in the truck)
