Yeah, followed by: "He underwent surgery and was sent home the next day." Now that is one f*$&#@^ fast hospital!  | ||

He's lucky to be alive. At least he had a jack...On a seperate note, there is a one-way trail here in Colorado when descending, due to it's steepness, it's probably a good idea to NOT be wearing your seatbelt (so that a quick evacuation could be at hand in the event of sliding). | ||

Jacquelyne, "On a seperate note, there is a one-way trail here in Colorado when descending, due to it's steepness, it's probably a good idea to NOT be wearing your seatbelt (so that a quick evacuation could be at hand in the event of sliding). Which trail is that? | ||

It's Red Cone, accessible via 285 South/ Fairplay area. . It's actually not one-way until you get to the top. You can either descend, or turn around. BTW, I still have not driven down this section of the trail because honestly, it's just too steep for my comfort level. I hiked up it from Webster Pass, just to scope it out, and had a pretty difficult time with traction; my dog Shadow was even flailing around. She ran down sideways...pretty funny to see. | ||

"He underwent surgery and was sent home the next day." Now that is one f*$&#@^ fast hospital! No insurance! It's amazing how fast they can get you out if they think you can't pay. |
