Someday soon, we'll make a trip there to see the beautiful scenery she is always talking about. I only hope that the road is snow-free & that the Eisenhower Tunnel is open! That means we'll probably have to go between June 30 & August 30th, though, huh? Thank you for the posts, and for the smiles. You have quite an imagination.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2772664241084918246.post-73271491985690275182007-03-30T19:34:00.000-07:002007-03-30T19:34:00.000-07:00Lynne Stratton sez:Geez Neighbor Dave, you were ne...Lynne Stratton sez:<BR/><BR/>Geez Neighbor Dave, you were never this fun when we lived there. Look what happens when a couple of youngsters moves next door! Great stories and Ricky is quite the writer.

As I neared the highest elevation a trouble light came on on my dash. Over the top I stopped at the first town on the way down & asked the Olds dealer what my problem was. His reply..."Due to lack of sufficient oxygen up here too much co2 is coming out of your tail pipe. Go down another thousand feet & I'll bet the light will go off". He was right. <BR/> Another year on a similar trip we were taking an old couple back to Lincoln to visit their relatives. He insisted he had heart problems and brought his oxygen tank along....& put it in my trunk. It was a beautiful morning & we were admiring the scenery when I noticed a sign "Continental Divide, 11M ft...<BR/>I said "Bert, how are you feeling this morning?" He said"I feel great....having the time of my life". "Did you see that sign?"..."No".....I said " We're on our way down from 11___ft...in a few minutes you ought to feel even better". We never had the oxygen tank out of the trunk during the trip. Cousin JohnAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
