    Northern roads report

    Ok, so for all those who are curious...I took the cage and my girls for a late afternoon drive. Here's what we saw...

    Hwy34 = north-facing road
    • construction about 6 miles in just past the "narrows" for about 100 feet...road down to one lane until August
    • shady and cold
    • more sand/gravel along edge and in middle of road
    • sand/gravel in the 2 long passing lanes after Drake


    Hwy7 = south-facing road
    • upper hwy7 past Lily Lake lots of gravel in middle, along edge and in the lanes for at least 5 miles
    • sand/gravel along edge and middle yellow line for the rest of the journey, but not as thick
    • water run-off at the beginning of some corners in Eastbound lane - possibility of mixing with mag chloride, but the water is only in a few spots

    Disclaimer: If you're a Colorado native, you know this snow shower really was just a shower.

    Amazing Colorado contrast (still upper hwy7)



    One of many turns along lower hwy7.

    Hwy36 = south-facing road
    • we did not take this road, but I figure it's about the same as hwy7
    Actually, you know why we really went up to Estes?

    Road 38E. Harmony Road -- Fort Collins to Masonville. CLEAN. Except for slow moving cruisers.
