Well that Telluride tunnel is sweet. Took the kids on a ski trip a couple years back - went through the Ft Irwin entrance to Page, AZ, caught the tunnel to Roswell NM, overshot to Cheyenne, WY but backtracked to Telluride via the Denver Airport (where I picked up my Zionist conspiracy check, thanks Charles). Tunnel travel is the only way to go, but the views get a bit “boring”

First time I found out my ex-wife had Typhlology (fear of tunnels) was in France. We were in eastern France, headed to the alps, and she was driving a rental (I was too drunk to drive) and we started to hit those moderately long tunnels. The first one was just under a mile long and she froze up inside. She made it through, but it was like having a corpse holding on the the wheel.

Never in the first 9 years of our marriage had we ever had to drive through a tunnel that long. We have a few right outside of Golden, but you can see the end. She’s alright if she can see the exit.
