Let me look into it. Would you guys mind having a riced out 3 in your group...once we get there, I'll pretend like I don't know you:lol:
edit: Microtel appears to be full as well.
Are you saying you'd only be paying half for gas? I'm sure of that lol.
Let me know as soon as you can, I'll see if I can get an extra space for you where Frank and I are staying. We already have lodging set up. You don't have to pretend you don't know us, you'll be parking in a different lot already LOL!

According to Google Maps it's roughly 1,374 miles to Deals Gap from Denver (22 hrs 17 min) for +/- roughly 100 miles on that depending where Eric's parent's place is. Plus you have your driving miles while at the event (this is a driving event!) so add 100 or so extra miles. Then obviously double it since it's a round trip so I would ballpark for 3000 miles total. You can then obviously use your average MPG to calculate your gas money.
I wish I could go, but too many factors say I can't. Car probably won't be ready for 3k miles, can't get the time off work easily, and we have two out of state Weddings this summer we of course have to go to...I am 100% committed to next year though, come hell or high water!
I don't even know what my MPG is, so I just go off how much I pay for the drive home haha. My parents stay pretty much on the path to DGRR anyway, not very far off the path, if at all.
Two weddings over a car event...you're so whipped. LOL!
