The 4,130 Mile Road Trip (Georgia to Colorado and Back)

The real voyage of discovery consists not in seeking new landscapes, but in having new eyes.” ~ Marcel Proust
For our 2019 spring break, my family and I took an epic 11 day, 4,130 mile road trip. We traveled from Athens, Georgia, all the way out to Colorado to go skiing, and back to Georgia. To put it into perspective, Athens, Georgia to Juneau, Alaska is only 3,789 miles. Our route included 12 states, about 9 different interstates, countless lesser traveled highways and one 7 mile stretch of dirt road in Kansas.
This is the film I made of our journey. It's a travel film, but also a poignant look at a dad (me) trying to soak up all moments of his kids' childhood and teaching/showing them new things.

2 buddies and I want to take a trip out to Colorado to go skiing for our senior trip in December of 2024 . We graduate in 2025. I am really worried about snow and icy conditions in December. If anybody knows anything about i70 road conditions around Christmas time please fill me in. ❤
