Here is our working itinerary, less personal info: Telluride to Moab “Hut to Hut” MTB Trip – an “Epic Adventure” Friday, June 4, 2004 I suggest you mail anything you may want to the “Gateway” location. Mail to: Gateway Post Office General Delivery YOUR NAME Gateway, CO 81522 Suggestions for items to mail – change of clothes or two, food items (that way you only have to carry enough to see you through to Gateway), and a return Priority mail pouch pre-addressed (or you could do that there at the post office) I suggest also that you bring your stuff in a small gym bag that can easily fit on the plane. Then, in Telluride, we will mail it to our final destination hotel in Moab, where we will shower and change before the shuttle ride back to Montrose. For me, I will include my cell phone so I will have it during travel to and from, as well as another fresh change of clothes. We can probably send one box all together if we keep it to our folded up gym bags and one or two other items.
