Driving Thru Denver Saturday

On the repeater going to vail

Cool. Sounds like you are making good time and I get to sleep in on Saturday.

Just saw on the news that Westbound I70 over Vail pass is closed due to weather/accidents. Any updates from the road?

From CDOT at 10:27 PM:
Closed to TrafficView Map
I-70 Eastbound Vail Pass (Milemarker 180-180)
Closed to traffic because of multi vehicle accident. No estimated time of reopening. Road closure began April 29th, 2011 at 3:39pm. Alternate route is US 24 to CO 91, then CO 91 to I-70

Oh Gwad.
We got to the road block and they send us on a detour. Luckily I saw behind me FJ60 and contacted him on 146.460. That is Shawn.
We go for the detour 91 and 24. Scary scary ride. All ice, can see anything
We get to almost the end and we need to turn back all the way to I-70. A tractor trailer jack knifed and it will take days to get him out.

Bare in mind I am on 2 hours of sleep and tired from calling
alpha charly zero victor hotel. This is kd2kdk. Where the hell are you.

Anyway made it to No name rest area. Fancy.

2am my time. Luckily I gained 2 hours and is only 12am
