A 'hot' drive home, Hwy 191- Cornodado Scenic Highway
While we were totally enjoying our stay at our boon docking campground on Hwy 191, things were happening around us. A small section of Hwy 191 - one of the curviest roads in North America. The fire at Josh Ranch, to our north had grown and connected with two other previous burn areas. Unknown to us, to the south was a bigger problem. The Pinnacle fire was threatening the closure of 191 southbound-our most direct route home. On our last night, we had an early dinner. Tom had just fixed us an after dinner adult beverage and we were preparing to enjoy the evening glow after sunset. Earlier in the day, I'd made some brownies and we took some over to the camp host to ask him to keep our site open for us! He had just learned via radio, that the Pinnacle fire was moving up the hill and the highway would be closed at 10 in the morning. Ruh - Roh! We'd already planned for an early departure, but knowing neither of us would sleep, we packed up the last few things, hitched Lucy to Charli...
