Remember when Colorado had a rock fall and blocked the highway? Yeah it happened again, an 11 minute drive is now 3 hours.

Going to or from work? That would make the difference for me. šŸ˜‚

Man, I'm from a small town in Texas. We had to drive damn near to Utah through Colorado to pick up my brother in law from college one time.

I thought I'd be slick and avoid Denver by taking a "quicker" path on the left side of Colorado.

Next thing I know I'm driving 20mph or slower up and down a one lane road through the freaking mountains, snow everywhere, dodging people on mountain bikes, scared to death I'm gonna fall off this mountain.

I went through Denver on the way back and was thanking God when I got back to the flat lands.
