A semi turned onto the east end of the bridge, then put the pedal to the metal. The bridge shook like a wet dog when the trucker passed over it, scared the crap outta me.<br /><br />I stopped at the Questa Café for lunch, a little south of the CO border. I had a chicharrones burrito smothered in green chili. Holy cow, that was good!<br /><br />Driving down Cimarron canyon when heading back to Raton, a huge hailstorm hit. Driving conditions got so bad I had to pull off the road. It was like driving on ball bearings, zero control. Impressive storm.Darrellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14316091005058053074noreply@blogger.com
