Well, we are on the coast. You can see the Pacific Ocean from my upstairs
window. Almost everyone knows everyone else or is someone's cousin and the
population number has been static since the 60s, so there is a real small
town feel to it. There are about 130,000 in this county which encompasses
2.3 million acres which is about the size of 2 Delewares, 1 Rhode Island and
the District of Columbia combined, if I remember my land masses correctly.

Are you anywhere near Parker? We hauled Arabs to a ranch there once and
made the mistake of driving over Rabbit Ears Pass in October <g> Won't make
that mistake again!

funny thing about the passes here, most Colorado drivers don't have any problems but out of state vehicles are more sluggish, has to do with air mixture I think

Our experience was when we went to pick up two yearling Arab fillies and
were coming back over the pass. I know it is only about 10,000 feet at the
summit but I'm sure it is really 10 MILLION feet down <g> For those that
have never been there, you come up and then it is like someone cut the top
off and the road is instantly flat so you don't really see what might be in
front of you. There was a gal parked right smack dab in the middle of the
road standing by her car. We had three choices, hit her, the 10 million
feet down the cliff face or putting the truck into the snow bank on the up
side cliff face. My sister and I were in a panic because the last vehicle
we passed was a big rig pulling half a modular home. All we could picture
was horses plastered all over the road.

At any rate, we got the fillies out and up the hill and tied to a couple of
trees. Then we went to deal with the one taco short of a combination plate!
Seems she had never driven in the snow before and the black ice scared her.
O.K., I can deal with that EXCEPT her husband was asleep in the back seat
and she didn't want to wake him up because he really needed the sleep!
Don't know who was more peeved at her, us or him. When he asked her why she
didn't wake him up (not in those words <g>), she said "But you look so sweet
and peaceful."

Grrrr, did I mention one guy had already gone off the road? We luckily had
a winch on the truck to pull him back up the hill! Oh, and the truck with
the modular had pulled off so the driver could take 10.
