This is a shot of Old Stage Road that leads up to Bear Trap Ranch. It's about 8 miles of hugging-the-side-of-the-mountain driving.
Isn't it pretty? Here is looking down to Colorado Springs. Quite an awesome view!
I have been quite impressed with the fact that Caleb has driven this road about once a week since he has been in Colorado. I've been to Bear Trap about 9 times and have managed NEVER to drive it.
Yesterday Caleb called his dad for help because he slid on the gravel and ran into the mountain.
Not every one can say they ran into a mountain. (quote from Amanda -- Caleb's girlfriend.)
What a mountain-side can do to your car:
With the help of his dad and the Internet, they found a place for Caleb to get things put back into place and the wheel replaced so it's drivable. The alignment needs to be checked next.
Praise God that Caleb was not hurt! I am more grateful he hit the mountain than if he went off the other side of the road and went down the mountain!
Oh the joys of learning how to deal with grown-up stuff, huh Caleb?
