Mom and I both had trouble falling asleep last night thinking about driving the Million Dollar Highway. It is a 21 mile drive that climbs to 11081 feet. It is 2 lanes with no shoulder and no guard rails. We met 2 people on the jeep tour yesterday who told us how scary it was. We were NOT excited. The topper for us was Bill Volk telling Dad it was a white knuckle drive.
Dad's comment about it? "How can you be within spitting distance of the second most dangerous drive in the country and NOT drive it?"
Our comment-easily. We convinced him that we would have a much better day taking a scenic drive to Telluride that did not make us want to throw up.
