Just be sure you take emergency winter supplies along.... last year
they closed down I-25 just south of Pueblo due to high winds - we got
the last hotel room available in a little town called Colorado City,
and the hotel had no heat. We had extra blankets in our car, thank
goodness!
Take a thermos of hot coffee, (or cocoa), lots of munchies, and a CB
radio if you have/can get one!
Also - if the weather starts getting bad, find a motel room fast,
because in some of the smaller towns, they're unavailable, and you may
end up sleeping/holing up in a school gymnasium or something.
We're leaving the 22nd to head to Las Cruces, NM... so will be behind
you by a few days on most of the road.
Have a safe trip!
