I wish I had been along your route. You know where I am if you need a place on the return trip (Abiquiu). I'd like to talk to you about your experience with permits etc at some point. Enjoy your trip and remember me if you need ever need a place to stay. Judith

Subject: [papercreters] Off topic - crash pad
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.
