Last Dollar Road

There is a road in west central Colorado named Last Dollar
Road. It is west of the town of Ridgeway if you know some
Colorado geography. A guy Randy works with had told him
about it. We had looked it up online, and saw that it was
gorgeous...especially in the fall. We were given one line of
advice...Don't try it after it rains. Well, we did try it after the
rain....and we should not have. I will just say...too slick to go
up, backed down, got stuck, people from Missouri pulled us
out, they had a jeep. If you want to know more, ask me!
We were determined to see Last Dollar Road, so the next
day Randy and I drove up to Telluride...the other end of
the road. We decided to just go exploring for a little ways.
Although there were a few rough spots and I held my breath
a time or two, we made it all he way through(past the spot
where we had got stuck the day before). It was worth it.
I want to see it in the fall.

If you know me just a little bit, you know that one of my
favorite things is sheep. I was thrilled to see this flock...
while passing on Last Dollar Road.

Ahh...that fair maiden(ok,not fair, but slightly dark) is me
in field of beautiful wild flowers. Last Dollar Road was
full of beauty.

We even saw a deer. It was not afraid at all.

One of the beautiful views we saw on Last Dollar Road.

There were so many aspen groves along the way.

In the fall, the Aspen leaves are golden.

With there trunks so white, there was sort of a celestial feel
to the road...at least I thought so.

I do not know why it is named Last Dollar Road. It was
free to drive on the road, but it was so beautiful I would
think seriously about giving my last dollar to see it in
the fall. I feel so blessed to have been able to see all of
the beauty of Colorado. When I have doubts that God
is always around, I only have to remember the wonders
I saw on that road.
