Funny you should mention those stupid things!! Hubby and I actually went through that area on our Motorcycles a few wks. ago, and those things are downright dangerous! We figured it’s a new-age hip libtard thing. aaargh... that and stopping to eat at a restaurant, and listening to 2 (probably jobless, as it was a Monday) oh-so-hip guys talk loudly about how “Rumsfield got out of it, but that evil Cheney is gonna get charged for war crimes, etc. etc.etc. “
We figured it was for our benefit, as hubby had a shirt w/a support our troops patch, and a POW patch.
Wow, I can’t imagine doing those mountains on motorcyles!! Good for you guys!!!!! We noticed TONS of bikes as we drove north from central Texas toward (and into) Colorado, but as we actually got into the Rockies, we saw pretty few. We spent our first night on the road in Lubbock, Texas, where there practically seemed to be biker convention going on at our hotel. We wondered if they might be hauling it to Sturgis a little early, but then overheard one lady say she was on her way to Vail. The only place I remember seeing bikers once we got into the Rockies was at Pikes Peak. They cracked me up, actually...these grizzled older guys who looked so tough were getting some stranger to take their picture in front of one of the Pikes Peak signs, like all the other tourists there. They seemed really nice. It just reminded me that we are all alike, really. We also saw a group of bikers taking each other’s pictures in front of the Welcome to New Mexico sign as we zoomed by. It was cute! They looked like they were having such a good time.
I’m glad you and your husband survived the roundabouts! But sorry you had to endure the libtards!! That area certainly was overrun with granolas and Obama bumper stickers. If I’d been in my own vehicle, my Honda Element would certainly have fit in with the zillions of other Elements I saw...but my Palin sticker probably would have gotten my tires slashed!!
