OK, we took a little break and went out to New Mexico to check it out a bit. We liked it and had fun, but we're definitely glad to be home! It's always nice to get back to your life! We had an interesting ride home. About an hour out of Colorado, we hit a dead stop in the traffic (The traffic was nonexistent till this point) So we got out of the car and had a good long stretch. the truck a few cars back from us had horses so they brought them out and Jace got to pet this one, so we took a couple pics... anyway, we were out there for at least 30 minutes, probably more, just wondering what was going on, making some friends, sharing snacks, etc. So this is what we eventually found out from some EMT's parked behind us who were listening in on a radio:
There was some minimal construction going on on the road somewhere and someone saw a suspicious looking package in the road with a bunch of wires sticking out of it. So the bomb-squad was called in, the traffic was stopped a mile back from the box, and they took care of the situation. I wish we had thought of getting a picture of all the cars lined up. There were so many!
Here is a zoomed in shot of one of the guys' bomb protection gear. We saw another guy still suited up, but we were too slow with the camera and couldn't get a good shot.
Same picture 3 times, just zoomed in... The guy that was fully suited was to the left of the squad car, behind another car. It was pretty neat to see and Jace had a blast running around on the highway! When I can figure out the slide show thing I'll post some more pics... it's awful to just put 10 pics up in line, I need a slideshow!! OK, give us a call, we're glad to be home and want to do something fun before the break is over!!
