OK- I went ahead and made a reservation, but there was no balcony option. I called and was told that no rooms with balconies were set up for the group. Annie was kind enough to request one for me, but that's subject to availability so I'd bet I'll lose out. Was she just wrong, or is that something that can be changed?

In ILLINOIS??? You are so funny!! An IL State Trooper had the audacity to stop me for license plate obstruction, harrassed me about no WI front plate.... Don't even consider MO, those troopers are akin to the OH mindset, they WILL ticket you for breathing too fast on I-70
Once you get west, the limits are higher anyway...
The 70's are over. Sue happy society, no way will they sanction or be involved with what you're talking about.

Ahh...to dream a little dream!!!
We'll be ok. Speed limit in Iowa is 70. So we'll have about 4-1/2 to 5 hrs at 70. Speed limit in Nebraska and Colorado is 75.

I would like to make this trip. I wonder if I'm allowed back in Colorado yet? Well I gotta make a few phone calls and see if that statute of limitations has expired. Get back with y'all later on this.
