what it says...i'm on my Great Big Moving Trip, and will be passing through/near these places as well as other potential stops along I-70 or I-80 going to Chicago. i have all the guitars and the pedalboard in places i can dig them out of the truck. if anyone would like to make some sounds while i'm on the way, PM me or post, please... it'd be great to see you.

relatives i can live with while looking for work, and a city in which i grew up and thus know some of the ropes. trust me, if i could stop RIGHT HERE and live in Colorado i'd be a happy camper.

Bring your old hippie ass down south and let's jam some Fairport Convention :poke: Good luck on the move and job hunt, man. Hopefully, it all turns around for you once you've settled.

hell, yeah...one benefit of being in Chicago rather than California is that i'll be closer to, well, everywhere that isn't on the West Coast :thumb:

Awesome. (I'd post that double rainbow video, but it's totally played out.)

All of the CO pics made me remember the last time I was in CO, on a hiking trip. This was my view looking down the ridge from the highest point in CO (also the highest point in the Rockies):
