    In 1978, my brother and I were driving to Denver from Aspen. Weather was fine entering the tunnel. Came out to a foot of snow on the ground and blizzard conditions. Had a 64 Dodge pickup that I left in what I thought was the median. We hitched back to Denver, then went looking for my truck the next day. Quite the adventure.

    11:20, driving through there a couple of years ago, a lady was in the middle of the freeway, waving us down to stop. Turned out a family of elk? moose? was crossing the highway right in front of us. A fantastic drive made even more wonderful. (And no animals were harmed in the process, either.) Thank you, lady in the middle of the freeway.

    Interstate 70 for me, is one of the most beautiful American roads, mainly in Utah and Colorado, passing through rock walls, mountains and following the Colorado River, passing through tunnels and viaducts and after Denver, everything practically flat and straight . It is to be appreciated, beautiful road engineering work. The i90, i80, i40 and i10 also have their particularities that are jaw-dropping. Hello from Brazil, thanks.

    FYI Russ. The Eisenhower tunnel runs East to West. The tunnel that you drove through was the Johnson tunnel which runs West to East. Everyone seems to call it the Eisenhower tunnel no matter which way there going. Beautiful scenery all along I-70 especially in Glenwood Canyon.

    Love the idea of traveling indefinitely. Especially by road. Every day I'm one step closer to living that dream. I bought a pickup truck this year and now just waiting for high season to end on buying a travel trailer.
    In late August I expect prices to drop and parks to be more accesible due to less traffic (again summer peak season). The big wildcard is covid. Hopefully things improve on that front. Stay safe Russ, I enjoy your videos.

    I almost got eaten by a huge snow plow at the the eastbound end of Eisenhower Tunnel. I had pulled over as far right as possible to put snow chains back on to descend into Denver. I was wearing cowboy boots on the packed snow and almost couldn’t get out of the way in time. Beautiful drive up that way. I hope to get back up there some day.

    In 2000, my transmission locked into neutral halfway through the tunnel at the divide.
    Since it was tall downhill, short uphill, tall downhill, short uphill from there, and it was 2am with no other traffic, I coasted all the way to Idaho Springs before the van couldn't make the uphill.

    I thank those who built this road for their immense achievement. Their effort cannot be diminished. However, the west -bound side hill is way too steep for trucks. It’s time to rebuild those 6%-7% grade portions using newer technology. This was built with 1950s concept. We can mobilize to raise money and make this road less risky.
