Do you drive up US 287? That's a crappy drive with no scenery, I feel for you.
There was a thread on here about someone dropping off a buddy at the airport, only to come back to an empty parking space. Truck, trailer, and all of the gear was gone.
I think I would rather make the 10 to 12 hour drive to my hunting spot, than fly in to an empty parking space. Just my 2¢.

An 18 hour drive isn't too bad. I'd leave at 5am and shoot to be there by midnight. I'm looking at a 30 hour drive. Add in food and gas stops and it will probably end up being 33 hours. My buddy and I plan rotate driving every so often.

I don't envy any of you guys driving to Colorado. I can walk to the national forest faster than it'll take most of you to drive here.

I don't miss those days of driving 22 hours to go hunting anymore, we moved to western Montana over a year ago and I can be hunting in 15 minutes now...no more all night drives for me.

I live in wy. Worked in Houston in Jan and Feb. Worst place for traffic I've been. The morning news was unreal crime every night.

I feel your pain Ag111. Driving from Pittsburgh to where we hunt in Idaho takes 37 hours. There is just no easy or cost effective way to do it. That being said anybody driving east from Idaho that wants to make a few hundred extra bucks in September please let me know. :)

Yeah I guess 18 hours isn't nearly as bad as some folks on here. I just did some quick math.... I sit in traffic for 30 min going to work in the morning and an hour and a half in the evening. two weeks of commuting to work takes the same amount of time to drive to CO(nearly)....
