Pay more taxes then… spoiled Americans. Roads cost money. Have you looked at the Geography of I-70 through the mountains? It’s a marvel that it was even constructed. If you avoid the Weekend crowd during certain hours it’s fine.

I-70 is probably the worse interstate highway I’ve ever been! Yesterday, I’d spent more time in the car than actually skiing! It only takes about 1.5 hours tops(with light traffic) to get there, but recently it has been taking about 3 – 4 hours to reach Copper, and 4 – 6 hours to come back to Denver! Yesterday, there were no accidents, driving conditions were decent but for some reason it took an eternity going and coming back! They had closures all the way from Dillon to the tunnels, causing people to take shortcuts through smaller towns, exceeding speed limits elevating the risk of accidents.

My GPS hated this road so much, she made-up exits to get off of it as soon as possible. When were these roads last paved? Because I’m willing to fork over tax payer money to have the lanes on a spa day as soon as possible. Not to mention trucks with a random assortment of crap tied up together with a piece of string, hanging off with essentially no reinforcement and the driver barging forward at +65mph speeds. I can’t imagine any of that is legal. And I don’t want to imagine what it’d be like having that fly right into my windshield at ungodly speeds. Apparently, this road will take you all the way out East. Just don’t expect the car to make it there all in one piece. Unless Maryland’s end looks a lot better than ours.

Dear I-70, I don’t normally use this word, but I hate you. I sat in traffic this weekend for 8 hours. 2 ½ of which was spent just trying to reach you. Kat A and I finally had to pull over and veg out at the Dam Brewery in Dillon because of your closure. Why? Why did you close when the weather wasn’t that bad? Why didn’t you tell us sooner? Don’t get me wrong, I’m happy you opened up, finally, at 8:45PM but you should have told us prior to 4:45PM that you were closed. Like how about a notification when you actually closed the hour before? You are currently not my friend. When I can, I will always use your rival, Loveland Pass. I obviously can’t avoid you since I do love going to the mountains, but why can’t you be nicer to me? Thanks for listening, Yvonne
