Hiway 24 is a bad road, lots of curves and blind entries onto the hiway. Has been a few washouts from from the Waldo Canyon fire and the road was blocked by a landslide. Then you have the inmates picking up trash from the gamblers and tourists. Not to mention the drunks from free or cheap Cripple Creek booze. It must be a bitch to patrol if there is a wreck with all the twisties and canyon walls. Then you have the tourists with the big motorhomes who have never been to the mountains. I was approaching the landslide when it happened coming down 24 to the Springs and the State Patrol had the traffic moving again eastbound in ten minutes. I was impressed.
