I'm going on a business trip from Bakersfield to northern Kansas. 15 through Vegas, Utah, then taking the 70 through Colorado into Kansas.

Any cool restaurants, gun shops, etc. I shouldn't miss along the way?

I've never owned a 2 wheel drive.

There doesn't seem to be much weather for the next week though.

Nothing really on the western side of Colorado unless you want to do some long range shooting.

I lived in Mac until I was 6.....both my parents still work there.  Mind if I ask what business?


And I'm in Hays right now, you can stop here and we could grab lunch/dinner or whatever.

1.5hrs west of Salina on I70, you have to drive through Hays to go to Salina and then once you get to I135, south to McP.

Take AT LEAST 2 full days to drive there. Get good sleep.

After Salina, UT it is over 100 miles to the next gas station (in Green River, UT).

Take your picture in Rifle, CO.

Or, it's 90 miles shorter to go I-40 out to Tucumcari, then Us-54 up to Kansas. The weather can sometimes be better, too. Then again, AZ and NM get plenty of ice and snow along I-40 in the winter. Take your picture in Two Guns, AZ

I already have the land (200 acres). I just haven't built my home on it yet.

Great camping areas though. You're welcome anytime. I'll have my new cabin hauled up there this year.

Thanks to the 15,000 acres of BLM north of my place, I have a 2500yd range. Be sure to bring a bolt gun.

BTW, Lions are thick, and tags are $10 for 2 over the counter.

Did you head back already?

I just got back from a NW KS to SE UT and back trip via I-70.  

Found a nice resteraunt in Moab UT.  Its called the Sunset Grill "place on the hill"

Real nice place and the filet was excellent.  

BTW the Owner is a Gun guy, told us all about his 4 new AR's.  I dont know if he is on here but he seemed like a good guy.

I loved it. I really like the slower pace, and friendlier people. The only thing I didn't like is the lack of mountains.
