Hi everyone:

On my way back to NY after spending the last 3 months traveling the length
of the US-Mexico border. Prior to this trip I traversed Mexico to the
Michoacan coast, which is all to say that my 87 Westy has acquired more than
9000 hard earned miles in the last half year and is need of a well deserved
respite. I have 2000 miles to go though before I reach my home in NY's
Hudson Valley and hence, I thought I would ask the group for some overnight
pop-the-top destinations between Denver and NYC' ish. I'm fairly tired of
being on the road so I plan to more or less B-line it but I also want to be
cautious not to push the vehicle too much: top speed 60 mph, perhaps 8 hours
a day, which means 4-5 nights between Denver and NY. I'm fairly accustomed
to pulling off highways to find random places to catch some shut eye but of
course, the rest is always best when the camping spot is actually
recommended. I'm basically following the google map directions for Denver to
Catskill, NY but am willing to detour if anyone recommends good over-night
camping spots. I'm traveling with a dog so places that allow for pre and
post driving walks are always much appreciated. Thoughts/recommendations?
Shooting to leave tomorrow after the Spain/Italy match.

Pura Vida,
John Drew
