Contrary to the 110s in lurch's backyard and the 98 here today the forecast in Denver over the coming weekend is in the high eighties-that's not too bad-remember, especially our international guests, that high desert heat is not humid and sweaty--you'll just be prone to dehydrate unless you drink plenty of water. You need to apply sunscreen if you plan to be outside for over a half hour. Also remember, especially Cjr-that you'll be flying from almost below sea level to a mile high-so take it easy and sit down an breathe for a while after you deplane.
No sorry there are no (a subject raised at the Hangar) fireflies in the Rockies-you will be, however, subjected to some of the most beautiful mountains in the world-a side trip to Leadville or Vail will blow your mind. It cools down very nicely around eight or nine-so late evenings at the pool, or beach will be very nice.
Albuquerque is also a mile high and ali, magic and Menolly have survived amiably at these heights and temps before. Jenn has as has Luci. Cjr is the only one I worry about-Sea will be constantly climbing upwards so should adjust nicely. A mile high is okay but if someone, probably me, suggests booking off to Leadville just beware of possible altitude sickness.
). I'm still going to take the train to Chicago; then flying out of O'Hare at 6:40pm, American flight 1513, arriving Denver 8:20pm Thursday. I'm still renting a car.
So call me and I'll come to the site and vouch that I'm me (or somebody 
)---picking up Jenn and Cjr around 8-8:30-so we can hook up at the airport and all drive to the campsite and part ways there.
