I took a look at Main & 4th in your link, Warren....that photo must be 10 years old, maybe 15 . That old building with all those junk cars is now GONE...burned down about 5 years ago and it took the town leadership 4 years to force the owner to clean up all the junk vehicles and the fire debris...and when they started they found about 500 rifles among the rubble, seems the guy was a gun collector. It is now just a flat piece of ground, but maintaining its' "nasty" status by growing head-high weeds. Some people you just can't count on to keep their property picked up, I guess!

As for the fast driving, yes, it is a great place to just wind the ol' 302 out! In fact, the distance between two towns just across the Colorado state border (about 10 miles west) is 127 miles...no gas stations in between those two towns, no restaurants, nothing but mile after mile of open road and antelope. One time I kept count of the other vehicles I saw on that 127 mile long road...six vehicles, two of which were just farmers on motorcycles going out to check on their cattle. This is incredibly flat land with a 2-lane blacktop ribbon stretching from horizon to horizon and virtually NO traffic...and in all my years of living in this remote area, I have never seen any form of law-enforcement vehicle on those roads. It's just a great driving area if you like flat-out, straight line touring...not so great if you like curves.

Cheers!
