...on the road, outside of Colorado, something was hitting the windshield,
with over 20 days of no moisture in TX, we almost had to
stop to see what it was was |

Leaving Pueblo, CO, the Rocky Mountains were coming into
view - not to mention the rain clouds. WOW!!! ...rain 2
days in a row!!!! |

The Midland Tunnels |
|
Before arriving into Buena Vista, Co, Hwy
91 was shut down for 45+ minutes due to a rock slide,
after a storm that dumped what appeared to be a mixture
of hail and snow.
We missed the storm but we did get
into the rain and lots of mud and muck on the highway;
even after the dozers crapped most of it up |
|
|
|
|
 |
 |
Just North of Buena Vista, Co, on Hwy 371 you will find
the 4
Midland tunnels

were built 1887 by the Colorado Midland Railroad |

We were
missing a National Forest for the Cowtown Cruiser
Program so we opted to grab another stop. |
