That's pretty fucked. It's one state over.
If you ignore Utah, and large parts of Colorado and Nevada.
All three are large Western States. Jefferson county is close to Denver.
Flying out of Nevada also implies either Reno or Vegas.
So worth the flight. The actual fucked up part is the probation for vehicular homicide.
Nah, there's trains and busses. I don't think a cyclist would appreciate flying for that.
There's no passenger train connection between Reno or Vegas and Denver. And the Bus route is a Greyhound that takes a bit over a day each way.
The absolute shortest dive between Vegas and Denver is 750 miles, or 1200km. This is over 10 hours of driving, which via bus takes much longer due to the many, many small town stops in between.
There are several direct flights every day, and round trip will cost you just over $100, and that's for short notice.
Flights should be illegal. Take the bus to the train.
Sure, take the non-existent train, or spend several days on a bus when a flight makes the same trip several times a day.
I see you have never been there.
No it isn't. Utah is between them. Reno to Denver is a 15 hour drive and just shy of 1,000 miles. It's pretty comparable to driving from Amsterdam to Barcelona. I know for a fact Europeans take shorter flights than that on a regular basis. Is that sufficient explanation for you or do you still want to be an asshole about a guy trying to get closure for his dead friend?
It's illegal to fly domestically in parts of Europe, and it should be the same in the US. There's trains.
It definitely is not. The closest is France banning short flights where there are alternative train routes available of 2.5 hours or less, which would be equivalent to a 30-40 minutes flight.
Flying from Nevada to Colorado takes almost 2 hours, there is no train route, and bus takes a full day.
Vegas to Fort Collins is 12 hours. Idk what his route was but both of those states are bigger than many countries.
