    What a beautiful drive this morning, Mike. Wonderful to see the CO mtns with all their winter glory and that CO blue sky. Great way to start the day.

    Beautiful scenery ... my grandson is learning to drive ... I am going to have him watch this video -- good comments on how you are driving in that type of road condition. Also... I like driving behind trucks on long-distance drives .... no one wants to cut in front of me. However, after watching your videos, I now realize that doing that might irritate truck drivers -- I will try not to do that any more -- at least not too much!! Thanks so much for these videos -- so enjoyable.

    We’ll be arriving from the U.K. in 4 weeks, driving my beloved Chevy suburban from SFO via Carson city then highway 50 to Ely, heading east via Yellowstone and eventually via Vale and Durango before heading back to SFO via monument valley, I’m so looking forward to it and watching this with the coaching on driving is reassuring.
    We have driven before on parts of the route in summer but I’m preparing for a little snow just incase.
    Thanks for taking the time to post

    I retired from the road and just recently moved to north central Washington and some really cold weather. What surprised me was that once the cold weather set in the snow on the hills was not a problem. Our temps ranged from -5 to the low 20s for two months. The only times I had any problems with our hilly driveway and road was early before it got really cold and late as the temp started getting around 30

    I love this stretch of road, have driven it many times back and forth between Delta, Pueblo, or The Springs! 4hrs - 4 1/2 hrs from Pueblo to Montrose. My dad, who was a native Coloradoan and long time trucker taught me to never hang out by another vehicle, so that's one of my pet peeves too! I would love to see a video of Gunnison to Montrose. Always nice to ride along Mike! Be Safe out there!

Diesel was close to 5 here last week after a 60 cent hike in 3 days, probably well over 5 now. Just keeping the Ram in the garage and staying home. I'll ride shotgun with you. By the way. Way down yonder on the Chattahoochee is one of my favorite songs, Alan Jackson.

    The best advice I have ever heard about driving on snow, is to imagine you're driving barefoot, and that the brake and accelerator pedals are covered in thumb tacks. If you're gentle on the pedals, you can drive quite safely. If you're too hard on the pedals, you get a foot full of tacks.
