I know you have done your homework on the trip, looks like from Sacramento to Kremmling is just under 16 hours of ride time. Are speed limit 75 miles per hour on the western interstates like they are here?

As far as I know, Mike and I and maybe Roo will be leaving on Thursday too.
It should only take one overnight stop somewhere, then head to Kremmling on Friday morning. I think Mike wants to take the 15 again.-- Scott

If you guys are traveling together, it goes without saying take the biggest chunk you can the first day when the getting is good.
Long days are a lot easier and safer when you're with friends.Howard

It's doable. Realistically for Mike coming from San Diego up the 15, it'd have to be overnight in St George, Cedar City or Beaver.
From St George it would be 555 miles and 8 1/2 Google hours on Friday to Kremmling.
Beaver is 7 Ghours (Hoogles?) and 452 miles so not much difference.-- Scott

Also, that strong tail-wind headin' east will cut the gas consumption.81H Venturer1100 "The Bentley" (on steroids) 97 Yamaha YZ250(age reducer) 92 Honda ST1100 "Twisty"(touring rocket) Age is relative to the number of seconds counted 'airing' out an 85ft. table-top.

Actually, Ventura County gave me jury duty for my birthday this year so I don't know what's going to happen next week. I could be getting a tan at the beach with a bunch of bikini babes or I could be trapped indoors in a jury box.-- Scott

I didn't have a bike at the time and the County was hitting me every other year for a while. When they quit doing it, then I got to go swimming in the Federal jury pool in downtown Lost Angeles. Of course I got picked for a jury and I had to leave the house at 4:00 AM to be 100% certain I'd be there on time for the trial. With light traffic I'd get there in time to have breakfast upstairs in the Federal Building cafeteria, then we'd all hang out and natter and gromish until the courtroom opened up. Fun times.Last edited by 3Phase; 06-14-2017, 05:25 PM.-- Scott
