Monticello has a Best Western and a National 9 Inn I think, the rooms
at the Best Western are huge, I haven't been inside the National 9.
Monticello is a little light on food variety, the Lamplighter is a
local restaurant, and they had a great little local pizza joint last
time I was there.

Sounds about right. I worry about the weather in mid-April, but we can
decide closer to the date. I'll get ready for the 18th, and if the
stars don't line up I'll plan on the 2nd. The 2nd should work no
matter what, it shouldn't be blizzardy in the mountain passes...just
cold. April 18 though....thats still blizzard time in the mountains.

I've got clearance from the wife for both dates.

Lucky.

You shouldn't need to, unless you'd been to, say, Patagonia and back
on it, twice. That's what KLR's do best.
