    I was randomly scrolling through youtube and immediately recognized the thumbnail picture of the town of Bailey from Crow Hill.
    I used to live In Bailey and it was nice seeing the little changes around the area in this video. Thanks for sharing!

    I rode with one of my parents employees across the Rockies from Oklahoma when I was 7, I heard A White Sport Coat over and over by Marty Robins in 1957. 😅

    Rocky Mountain high is not kidding lol pot wise. My dad picked me and a buddy up at the airport coming home from Vietnam, and we did light up a joint, thinking he wouldn’t know what it was, WRONG. He did know.

    Did you know that the term Park in Colorado is a reference that the area is an upland valley.

    I have a question is how you can gain elevation going down hill in some scenes. Good video though.

      They are north of Pikes Peak which is in the city of
      Colorado Springs. He came through Denver, the state capital and the state’s capital city. They are now traveling west through the Rocky Mountains (The Rockies). I live in
      CO.

      make sure you grab oxygen canisters, after kansas you will need it. 5,000 feet high hard to breathe.. go up to over 10,000 in Colorado, your lungs will want more air. try to take route 66 if you can thru some spots like TULSA OK. its trashy city but has some relics. Colorado is AMAZING..

    Denver was expensive back in the 80s, don't like your lips love the ear popping going over the mountains Lived one state overI didn't have problem with the elevation. Cost of living in Colorado is high they are moving away
