This is the latest of my recent back country treks. This caught my eye after travelling this road for decades. Maybe I am reachin. Do you remember when the earth could not be bent to the human will? St.Vrain Road seems to dodge the growth on both sides. It still doesn't create the classic S-curve scene. I wonder what might happen if the road crews would pull really hard on the asphalt behind me? Burn enough petroleum into the atmosphere and we could get it straight. I am happy with it the way it is. If some motorist kills themselves here, just slip Darwin's calling card under the windshield wiper! Every family tree can use some pruning. Nevertheless, it still provides a pleasant trek from the Foothills Highway to Hygiene and Longmont, Colorado. These are the roads to wander.
Daily lighting seems to have taken on the urgency of an approaching winter here in the Front Range area of the Rockies. It took a dive on the return to daylight savings. There will once again be a couple of months before the days start to stretch and we have to suffer February. Oh bother! Ah, the National Western Stock Show and Rodeo in February will take on new meaning next year because all the bigs have a new toy to fight over.
It's a good thing the edge of town is quickly passed on west Ninth and I can find the leftover scenes. I got to search some more venues! Maybe we can hit the Christmas steam up over at the Colorado Rail Road Museum in Golden, I think Eddie said it was December 10th and that sounds early so I should check with the CRRM.ORG website. Eddie said they would be running #346 because RGS #20 is not yet back from it's total rebuild out east. I guess that will be off the possible shots list. Eddie will be a pest after he sees the museum for the first time ever. They do railroad modeling over there but they prefer modeling at a 12inches to the foot scale. Area fans ought to make the trek; take your camera, empty and ready to go!
Two back profiles of KSRTC. One the left is a premium class - the Super Deluxe Air Bus, and on the right is the common man's Super Fast! Wish some sense prevailed in the body building shops..

"Back!" Two girls on a fat bike are turned back by traffic controllers and take a different route. The girl in front is busy with her phone.
