Another option will be when we reach Monument at Hwy 105 and I-25 for a restroom break.

Today’s drive is a ½ day (3.5 to 4 hrs. long). With social distancing guidelines being mandatory because of Covid 19 I’m not comfortable stopping somewhere to eat so lunch is not planned for. Please bring drink and snacks. Also bring radios (channel 5.30) so we can communicate. For additional info and/or to let us know you are going, please contact us.

Gran Turismo is a movie based on the true story of a young Englishman named Jann

video game player whose gaming skills won a series of Nissan competitions to become
an actual professional driver on the Nissan racing team.
You may remember that we mentioned this movie in the Odometer a couple months
ago. Well, we’ve finally found a venue where we can all watch the movie together. The
Forney Museum has agreed to allow us to use their meeting room for a viewing. We
plan to meet there on Saturday, May 2nd, at 1:00 PM. Some of you will recall our visit to
the museum in March. It’s located at 4303 Brighton Boulevard in Denver, next to the
Denver Coliseum. The movie will be free of charge, but Seating will be limited so please
notify Andy Mortenson if you plan to attend.
