I want to take a week off the end of July. I live in Kansas City and I tend to follow Jack Kerouac. I job traveled several places for 4-6 weeks at a time, like NYC, and I have the book Beat Atlas.

I have been to Denver before, in my early 20's. I made my step dad stop on Larimer Street. This was back in the early '80's. I am the only person I know who does this. lol. I have a new car and I don't mind driving it to Denver. If I had another week, I'd drive to San Fransico, but I've never been that far west. I'll stick to Denver this time.

I'm a single female, 54. Is there any place I need to definitely see that I should not miss (besides the Shambala site which I think is north of Denver, Jack would approve. haha.)
