That is great news! I was hoping for that kind of weather in Durango. The getting there will be the bear in the heat, but once were there it will be worth the sweating and I know I won't want to come back to TX!

Can't wait!:clap:

Agreed on the Elk. They don't like spyders. Remember to stay hydrated even at night. Driving open vehicles in dry heat accelerates dehydration. That goes for anyone driving to and attending the event. Especially those coming from cooler climes. Know the signs symptoms of heat related illnesses. And those of you from the flatlands, remember the higher elevations can cause you to be a little lightheaded. Most of all, have a great time. Wish we could be there.

A couple things to remember:
1. Almost no humidity out here, so for those coming from the East--90 here doesn't feel like 90 there.
2. I don't remember it getting hotter than 95 all of last summer. It should be reasonable.

Cant wait!!!

Are the fires a threat? Smoke could be a real problem for folks with breathing problems.

Any news on the forest fires in the Durango area? Hope all the fires are contained by next week. I'm really eager to be there.

Re: fires

We should be fine. The fires are southeast of ABQ and other fires are in northern Colorado. No worries for us unless the wind pushes the smoke at us.​

NO Smoke in Albuquerque

We got to Albuquerque Sunday and the news talks about the fires, but we are seeing no smoke, but the wind is gusting from time to time. If you are coming in I-40 should be good other than warm (hot) to some.
