Went for a Mountain Drive

Recommended Posts

I've lived in Colorado my entire life, and like most people who have lived here for a long time, I never take advantage of the mountains so nearby. My friend and I met up in Broomfield (near Boulder), then drove a 250 mile loop that crossed the continental divide, overall incredibly scenic. I'm surprised it took me this long to take this drive. It took us a little over 7 hours including lunch and all photo stops.

 

The first part on highway 36 we were driving fairly fast, and passed a state patrol officer going the other way. After that, the radar detector came out and we obeyed all posted speed limits - until Bertha pass where I just couldn't help myself :o

 

If any of you ever find yourself in Colorado and have a day to waste, I highly recommend this drive. Even I was impressed with the scenery, it's overall very relaxing. Oh well, heres some pics of the cars (mines the Mercedes) and some scenic pics. Unfortunately, most places that have beautiful scenery are poor places for photography, so that explains the lack of landscape pics.

I'll be there Christmas week. Why is the highway patrol so uptight in Colorado? Every year someone in my party gets a ticket for something just ridiculous.

 

I've never been pulled over, not yet at least. I've passed cops countless times doing 90+ on the highway and they always point at me. But, I have seen the state patrol do some ridiculous things to pull people over. A few years ago a state trooper was doing around 85 in a 75, obviously traffic was following him. Then he moved over to the middle lane, hit the brakes, and pulled over the guy behind him for no reason - it was pretty strange.

 

What part of Colorado will you be visiting?

    • Question: To those that had/have cancer, what were the signs that made you think “something is not right here” to make you go see a doctor? Answer: So, 5/25/2018, I woke up, got ready for work, and as I walked to my car, I started gagging. Like something was stuck in my throat and I needed to clear it. And then it went away.   But 10 minutes after that, I was T-boned at 40mph on the driver side door. But what made me see a doctor was while my muscles felt better and bruises were going away, the gagging still continued, I started having fevers, my neck felt swollen, I was having such a hard time breathing, and I'd have random sharp pains in my chest, but not from where the seat belt saved me.   2 weeks after the accident, I finally see an urgent care doctor, who looks me over, tells me I'm fine, but luckily requests a neck X-ray. And I ask for a chest X-ray, which he rolls his eyes but let me have (most of my pain was in the neck, so I understand).   The very next day, he calls and says “So, that chest X-ray shows there's a 4 inch mass on your heart and lungs, and your lungs have been filling up with fluid, as well as in your pericardial (heart) wall. We need you to come in tomorrow.”   Turns out the big mass, due to the accident, caused my heart and lungs to tear and fill with fluid, the swollen neck and gagging was caused by 2 metastasized tumors, and the fevers and weight loss were symptoms. Stage 4b Hodgkin's Lymphoma.   But thankfully, we went very aggressive with chemo (and had a lot of bad side effects that don't normally happen to patients), and now I'm about 16 months cancer-free. Yay lucky X-rays!
