O_O

does this mean you can't go?? is there a way around?

As celtic_forest and I were discussing below, the delays the website suggested would add 5+ hours to the trip. (!!) There aren't really any good alternate routes in that part of the state, alas. But yes, we can definitely still go! Supposedly they'll open it again at the end of the day (oh please, please, let it reopen on schedule), so we'll time it to try to pass through then and then hopefully just be later than intended to our vrbo. Anyway, even if we had to miss that overnight stay and drive all the next day to get there, there's gotta be SOME road that's open!

Holy crap, I just looked at the map of the potential detours. That sucks.
Maybe if you left a bit before sunrise, you could get through before they close it at 9?
If it would help to start an hour(ish) closer, you guys could spend the night here Monday night.

Oh, you are the sweetest. <3 And yeah, do you love the detours?! 6-hour trip, 5-hour detour. (!)

Supposedly the interstate will be open at the end of the workday, so we'll just leave later than we intended and let them know we'll be a little late--hopefully it'll work out all right, and hopefully they really will open it up again when they say. Better than trying to race the construction and maybe getting there right as they close it. Thank you so much for the kind offer, though. <3 <3

Can't wait for tomorrow! :-D :-D

Oh, jesus!!!

I thought it was bad when I heard it would just be an hour + delay!

You can still go though, right? It will just be a delay you could really do without! *hugs* Stupid interstate work!!

Oh, yes, we're still going. Thanks for the hugs, my dear. *hugs back* It is frustrating, but one of the hazards of living in Colorado, I suppose--though such a big rockslide/damage hasn't ever happened in memory! PERFECT TIMING.

Ohhhh it's so close! I hope you have safe travels!!

OMG - no. Just no. (I'm going to Vegas Con, too. Maybe we can say "hi" at some point. Once you get past the damn rocks...)

Oh, that's wonderful! It was so great to meet people at the Denver Con, I was really hoping I could meet some of my lj buddies at VegasCon. I'd love to meet you! Maybe we could arrange a time and place via private message?
