Last winter I was driving from Southern Colorado up the back way to Gunnison. Late in the afternoon and heading from Creede towards a double pass south of Lake City. I think they run over 11,000' each. So we got to near white out conditions, hadn't seen a car in an hour nor a house. Wifey is near panic, "Back to Creede!", she kept yelling. I had seen some tracks in the snow so I was thinking, "No way I am back tracking all the way around...it's at least 10-12 hours." So we came up to an SUV heading to Creede and we stopped and asked the guy what's up. He says, "I was born in Colorado and I ain't driving through those passes. Those were my tracks you were following and I turned around." Cased closed. Back to Creede an hour back down the highway. Stubborn guy i am, I stopped at the cop shop to see if the passes were really passable. The point being, I wish i had videoed our encounter with the local sheriff and his 70 year old dispatcher. Too funny for words. Like something you'd see in Mayberry. Big bearded burly Sheriff politely suggested to my wife that we not waste time and just go through the passes. They even called Lake City sheriffs and gave them our info. Made plans that if we didn't call back to Creede in 2 hours they'd send a search party. The dispatcher told my wife, "Well, if you get stuck just stay there. These storms never last more'n a couple days. Ya got blankets don't ya?" She was something else. -g- Needless to say we made it through and saw just spectacular vistas at sunset as we cleared the passes and hit clear weather. Those folks in Creede were two of the nicest, most helpful people I ever met. I'm thinking LIG might have gotten different advice.
