My girlfriend and I are road tripping for the next two weeks and would
love to meet some other papercreters. We are driving from southern New
Mexico to Vancouver. Tonight we will be hitting the four corners
region at about 6pm. If anyone on this list lives within 80 miles of
Cortez, CO and has crash pad we'd love to
hang out and crash at your place for a night.
