Yep, gotta love Georgetown. Were the sheep on the side of the road when you went through?

Thanks for the photos, really brings back memories!
I used to go to the Dairy King in Georgetown every other weekend, it's now a winery somethin' or another.

A few tips for out of towners: don't try to take photos while driving this route (which is Denver to the ski area of Loveland, not to the town of Loveland!); don't think the traffic level is the same on ski weekends, summer camping weekends, or other peak tourism or holiday vacations times; and heed the Colorado Dept of Tranportation warnings, posted in the local papers this fall, to try and make this trip on off-season, off peak days to avoid the high incident of accidents and lane closures due to the overwhelming rate of heavy traffic driving too fast for the mountainous curves.

God forbid! My dad was doing the driving, I was taking the pictures from the front passenger seat.
