Exploring Colorado's Country Roads - Part 1

I started to appreciate exploring country roads as a small child riding next to my father in the family sedan. We would strike out turning this way and that, never getting lost. I seem to have inherited this wanderlust and enjoy turning off on a narrow track to see where it goes. Hope you enjoy the ride today, but be forewarned, we will be taking many more of these "road trips." Let me know which road you would like to turn on and explore.

  4. Stunning vistas. I would love to wander the Red Canyon Ranch road.
    I love traveling up and around New York state and getting lost. I love my GPS as I can now go completely out into the most remote areas and alwasy find my way back. . . or a place to eat or refule if needed.
    Love the pics,

  8. I like the reds in the Red Canyon Ranch Road, but all of them seem worth exploring.

    P.S. I went lightning "fishing" tonight and finally reeled in a decent catch :)
