I would imagine that you take that home, along with probably 100,000 other people.  I think they said it would close down around 5:00 - 5:30.  I can only imagine how bad this is going to be as that is the major route in and out of Denver...<!--QuoteEnd--></div><!--QuoteEEnd--><br /><br /><br />I take a bus from Parker up I-25 to the Civic Center, where I work.  Our stretch is not expected to be impacted.  If there are traffic problems that week, I&#39;ll take the train. I&#39;m a transit guy, after all. <img src="http://www.cruisecrazies.com/community/images/forum/tr-emoticons/biggrin.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":biggrin:" border="0" alt="biggrin.gif" /> <br /><br />You know, when I worked on the T-REX project, we shut down I-25 several times for bridge replacements.  We always did it after 9:30 PM though, and required our contractor to open by 5:30 AM  It&#39;s an awesome sight to see that interstate shutdown from Sante Fe all the way to Hampden.<br /><br />BTW, I&#39;m not going to Mount Evans this morning.  I don&#39;t mind hiking trails in rain or snow, but I don&#39;t want to hike up the peaks.  Most Colorado peaks have a field of boulders (aka talus or scree) that you have to cross.  My ankles have a hard enough time crossing the rocks without sliding around and skinning up my shins.<br /><br />So, not doing much today.  I&#39;m watching an American Le Mans car race that I taped last weekend from Wisconsin, then I&#39;ll take my sons into town so they can shop for video games. My wife is taking Heather to a birthday party.
