I would love to be on that tour ! Colin L and I drove our "A"s from Ottawa Ontario to the MARC meet in French Lick for a return trip of 2,175 plus miles. It was a wonderful experience and your tour will be one not soon forgotten.
 
Day 4: Heavy rain did not slow us down. Visited Mesa Verde National Park, past by Canyonlands National Park on our way to Moab. Cliff Dwelling in Mesa Verde. Very interesting history.
