It was still raining drizzles when we woke up the first day. We assumed the dirt road is really dirty and muddy. We waited for an hour before we headed off. My JLC’s car is not a four-wheel drive. You gotta have a 4 x 4 car to survive the nasty roads to the mountains. We took risk and used his car, may insurance naman eh. Lolz

I had to work half of the day last Friday before heading to Crested Butte. I was too nice not to take the whole day off which I could’ve if I wanted to. My JLC and I left at around 1 PM. It was raining, we almost backed out but rooms had been booked, plans had been made, food had been purchased. It was too late to retreat. :D

We were almost at the Colorado/ New Mexico border when the rain finally stoped. Thank goodness.

The drive alone was fun. It was like a tour of a lifetime.  We passed by a lot of beautiful sceneries. Good thing I was just a passenger, I was able to enjoy them all. Ninamnam ko talaga. :D Mountains, hills, birds, deers, cows, etc.. were a joyful sight. I really love country life.  You can feel the simplicity and fulfillment.
