I'll be leaving Thursday night.  I was going to take the I-25 to Hwy 24 route to Hwy 285 (never taken this route to BV before.).  It appears to take the same time as taking Hwy 50 out.  The bonus is not having to drive the canyon between Canon City & Salida.  I'm hoping to leave Pueblo @ 6-7pm putting me in BV @ 9pm.  I'll pass on the pit stop in Florissant, I'd rather get to BV to get camp setup and hang out by the campfire.
