Above you see a beautiful sunset over HWY 287 adding to the peaceful drive through the Poudre Canyon on the way to Craig CO. to start our Thanksgiving break. We always love to drive these back highways. It's always so pretty and so relaxing. It gives us a chance to breathe, reflect, and catchup with each other...
However, the rest of our driving was NUTS!! Below you will see a picture of the sheep blocking our way on HWY 13 between Craig and Glenwood. What a funny turn of events!...
The sheep proved to be only the beginning of a crazy driving week. After our great vacation, we left Glenwood Springs at about 11:00 a.m., thinking that we would get back by about 2:30 or 3:00 p.m. Boy were we wrong! Instead, what was supposed to be a 3-4 hour drive turned into an 8 1/2 hour drive because of weather and traffic. LONGEST DRIVE EVER!! We got to thinking, where else could we have driven in his amount of time? At least gas was cheap :) Our patience was tested, but thank goodness for i-pods, laptop computers and Disney Movies. It took us 1:45 to get from Silverthorne to the tunnel. Total trip: 11:00am - 7:30pm. We are just glad to be back now!
AT LEAST GAS WAS CHEAP IN FORT COLLINS!! :)
