A farewell pizza lunch with one of mountain top patients yesterday allowed me time to take just one, last morning drive up to Ourey, on this, my ‘Ridgeway Wednesday’. How I will miss Ouray, with all its quaint charm and Rocky Mountain splendor. I can’t wait to bring Dean back here one day.
While stopping at Mouse’s for a coffee and a chocolate truffle (milk chocolate lavendar) for later, I overheard a conversation between the barista and a customer heading somewhere to ski. When the skiing customer mentioned where she was going, the barista asked if she had chains on her tires. Then I heard mention of sheer edges, icy roads, drop off cliffs, and a car that went over the side just last week. Surely he must be talking about the ‘Don’t Go This Way Highway’!😱 These Colorado folks are plucky, I tell you! Needless to say, I am staying faaaaaarrr away from that road today!
Good choice!
