Red Feather Memories - The Foothills

Continuing on the drive to Red Feather Lakes, Colorado, we would continue north out of Ft. Collins and would thread our way through the foothills.  After Ted's Place we would pass through Owl Canyon which was a small break in the hogbacks which stretch along the front range of the Rockies from Cheyenne to Colorado Springs.  Owl Canyon is special since we same a herd of 20 Mule Deer crossing the road early one morning.  The drive would continue to Livermore where the road would quickly turn to a dirt road.  Now it is paved but not 40 years ago, when I learned a term to describe the dirt rad which was "Washboard" or what it felt you were driving across as your teeth rattled and the car would swish around in the dirt.
