This blog focuses primarily on two places I love, Texas and Colorado, and reflects my photography and musings as a retiree who plans to use the freedom of retirement to spend time where and how I choose--traveling, painting, photography, gardening--and of course, with family and friends.

Fastest Plows in the West
After the snow fell most of the night, the snowplows are busy at work the next morning in Rocky Mountain National Park. By late morning, Trailridge Drive is open all the way to Many Parks Curve, the extent of its accessibility in the winter months. Beyond that, the snows are too deep and winds too high to keep that part of the road open from late October to late May. But the lower elevations of the Park are available for sightseeing, sledding, snowshoeing, and cross country skiing.
