I lived in SW Colorado for four year...Yeah Cullen. I lived in SW Colorado for four years...in the San Juan Mountains. The drives never bugged me. But, I never was hauling all that "nasty" behind a way too light pickup, either.<br /><br />The Ozarks are about enough for me now. The Rockies are grand for sure...but I'm old, and I can't breathe good above 7,000 ft.<br /><br />Just sayin'...Andyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10945901944078164054noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17662995.post-40882761278753173412010-06-22T15:44:54.832-05:002010-06-22T15:44:54.832-05:00Well, I think Colorado ruined me on hills forever....Well, I think Colorado ruined me on hills forever. I will always compare every mountain I encounter with the Rockies, and there's just not much comparison. So I didn't find the drive to be all that "mountainous" but then again, I was driving a little Camry and not an F150 hauling a trailer full o' nasty.Cullenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11668947039713922916noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17662995.post-81565968409318969972010-06-22T15:22:51.568-05:002010-06-22T15:22:51.568-05:00Oh yeah!

Bald Knob, Searcy, yeah, now I remember it better.<br /><br />I was working, driving an F-150 Ranger Pickup with a 3,000 pound vat of caustic soda on a trailer behind.<br /><br />"Hilly" is an understatement, my friend! Those switchbacks are tough to climb in a rig like that, but even more "nervous making" to descend. <br /><br />Gorgeous country for sure, though.Andyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10945901944078164054noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17662995.post-23961772709656557212010-06-22T15:17:11.979-05:002010-06-22T15:17:11.979-05:00Yeah, I was immediately impressed with how pretty ...Yeah, I was immediately impressed with how pretty the area is. It gets hilly quick too! The majority of the drive from here isn't all that. Once you hit Bald Knob and turn north though ... !Cullenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11668947039713922916noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17662995.post-92067508776793423792010-06-22T14:50:45.874-05:002010-06-22T14:50:45.874-05:00Dang, Cullen!

Well, I know what you mean about resisting a purchase of something you REALLY don't need.<br /><br />But, that Griswold skillet sounds like something that would have broken down my (or at least my wife's) sales resistance.<br /><br />Mountain View is a beautiful place. I've been there before. That whole area around Blanchard Springs is truly fabulous.<br /><br />My memory is fading a bit, but I think Ash Flat is right near Mountain View, too. I had to do some work there once, and it was just fabulous. Man, that is beautiful country! Definitely worth a visit.Andyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10945901944078164054noreply@blogger.com
