  • Here we go into The Curecanti National Recreation Area. This is my second time Thru, headed in the opposite direction though. I don't remember it being so beautiful, glad I got another chance to ride Route 50. Pushing further west into The Rocky Mountains, starting to think about the town of Montrose, getting closer and closer to The San Juan Range. Stay Tuned everybody, many adventures to come. Catch you on the highway.

    The Gunnison/Crested Butte/Curecanti area was my favorite in Colorado. I caught massive Rainbow Trout in the Gunnison River while camping up in that area. This footage brought back fond memories. I live in Rhode Island and haven’t been out that way since 2006. Safe travels to you! Going over Monarch Pass must have been intense!

      @@TravelingThru222 Pueblo is popping, it's starting to feel the wallet strangled hold like everywhere else, but it's still affordable compared to the rest of the state. People sleep on Pueblo, but just this weekend for labor day weekend I camped at 11,000 feet and fished high mtn lakes, and offroaded all in Pueblo County/Custer County. Then came back down from 66/36 degrees to 88/58 degrees and biked our bike path along the Arkansas River. It offers affordability, and amenities (art, museums, movies, shops) without the traffic. If you want big city you can drive 37-45 minutes to Colorado Springs. You have skiing at Monarch in under two hours. We get all four seasons, have rivers, creeks, lakes. Denverites talk smack,but we have none of the traffic issues, parkings issues, less homeless issues(we do have some), and highway 50 offers everything I70 does. Plus the State Fair, and access to southern Colorado wilderness that hasn't been overtaken by people. For reference I've been from Alaska to the Florida Keys and the majority of in between. I find myself staying here ended up buying a house. As much as I thought I wanted to be in South Carolina/North Carolina the humidity, bugs, and lack of BLM land persuaded me to stay in Southern Colorado.

    Looks like zero road shoulders in places. Share the road" how is that working out?

    • @TravelingThru222
      @TravelingThru222  3 роки тому

      Highway 50 had great shoulder, then I switched to route 96 in The Curecanti, thats where the shoulders seemed to disappear. However there was some road construction at the start of this route, and they had a stop light. So it was pretty quiet roads until the line of cars came through every 10 minutes or so. Narrow shoulder can make things hectic from time to time, but any day in Colorado is a great day.
