Coyne thank your dad for all the great info; nice 'five check' trip report. I'm looking at hotels in Springdale now and did see Ruby's and Bumbleberry (home of the famous bumbleberry pie) Inns listed. Guess I'll be finding out what a blumbleberry is.
Probably won't make it to Durango or Silverton. After the parks the plan is to make a beeline for the I-70 and Denver. Hmmmmm bees, *deep in thought* bumble, bumbleberry, you don't think?

Keep'em flying
