Raton, NM to Morrison, CO
So, I made it home. Finally. This is what my ride today looked like from Raton to my house in unincorporated Jefferson County.
Leaving Raton, NM at 10:30 a.m. on Monday, November 18, 2019.
Starting Odometer: 36,155
When i left raton i forgot to reset my tripmeters. The problem with the fuel gauges is that each light bar can be predicted because they're each 0.8 gallons. But it doesnt tell you what your fuel mileage is unless you do some math. I think each light bar has been 26 miles. 26 miles / 0.8 gallons= 32.5 mpg.
I found Jose Muldoons, my old stomping grounds when I used to work in Colorado Springs. And also the office I used to work in on Uintah Street.
I had thought the street name in Colorado Springs where I worked was Ouchita St. But the name of the street is Uintah St. I had sort of transposed the two names in my brain and then when I drove across the Ouchita River in Louisiana, I got even more confused.
The ride today was very warm It was 69F - 70F for much of the way.
Leaving Colorado springs. 12:53 pm MST. 163 miles. 3.784 gals at $2.799 = $10.59. 163 miles / 3.784 gals = 43 mpg. 36,318.
I stayed on the interstate until I got to Palmer Lake. Then, I took backroads from Palmer Lake to Sedalia to Chattfield Reservoir, then up Deer Creek Canyon to Turkey Creek Canyon.
Arrived home 2:40 pm MST.
36,395.
Distance traveled today = 36,395 - 36,155 = 240 miles.
