It was a cold, but sunny, Colorado day. I had just finished making deliveries in Breckenridge
and was headed back to Aurora when my Blazer’s Driver Control System suddenly
took over and headed for Lamartine.
According to Chevy engineers I have the only Blazer Driver Control
System that actually controls the driver.
They suggested I bring it in for testing but I wouldn’t want to do
that. They might fix it.
The first part of the road was easy stuff. Icy and slick, but nothing to write home
about. I zipped on up to the Lamartine
Tunnel and took a few pictures, then began the 4x4 road beyond. It is amazing how much difference a few feet
in elevation can make. I was instantly
in the white stuff up to my axles.
I paused for a few moments when my Driver Control System
said, “Okay, Outlaw. What are we waiting
for now?” Did I mention that I also have the only Driver Control System that
talks? I call her Blaze. She actually said that. I heard it.
That’s my story and I’m sticking to it.
“Maybe I don’t wanna do this snow.”

The mine shaft is a long way from the remains of the ghost town. Miners had a long hike getting to work.
