And no - this is not a reference to Colorado's reputation as a marijuana friendly state. I am actually referring to driving up the Guanella Pass byway a short distance last week after my sister Susan and I toured the quaint mountain town of Georgetown, Colorado, located at the base of that former burro trail. Since Georgetown sits at an altitude of 8,500 feet, it didn't take long for the road to become snow-packed, and so I turned around and took the photograph above out the car window as we descended. This road is extremely popular during the fall, when the aspens turn golden, but during the winter, not so much. Having to be rescued from up there would be quite embarrassing. Not only that, but some local governments are now starting to charge people for the cost of the rescue. Talk about adding insult to injury.
