In March of 1975, I drove south (opposite the direction in the video) along that most precipitous stretch of U.S.550 as dusk was falling. I was the only car around when I broke into a full-blown sweat upon realizing that water trickling across the road to the cliffs on the right was freezing. The ice strips were only a few feet wide, but every one on an outside curve sent my 1968 VW Beetle sliding toward oblivion until my front wheels made contact with dry pavement on the other side. The left-to-right flow of these patches proved that the pavement sloped to the outside -- a fact that to this day, I find hard to believe was tolerated.

Even living here in Colorado, the alpine scenery is always breathtaking to me. Great job on capturing the beauty of the San Juan mountains!

You're so lucky to have such amazing scenery where you live. It's so easy to take stuff like that for granted.

I noticed you had some difficulty staying in your lane on the curves. Better take it a little slower. The top speed limit is 25 mph if my recall is correct.

Why so much clutter on the screen covering up the beauty? 😊
