Boulder, Colorado . . . or is that Boulders in Colorado?

Last week we took the students to the Durango Rec Center, which was a lot of fun. On the way there, we came across an interesting sight. Two enormous boulders were in the middle of the right lane.

Silly me, it didn't dawn on me to take a picture. I was distracted by the fact the car we were in just stopped running. We pulled over, and funny thing, everyone behind us pulled over as well. The road workers were trying to wave us on, but alas, the car would not start. After a quick prayer, the car started and we made it there with out a worry. And then on the way home when I thought about taking a picture, the boulders had been demolished and the road workers were just finishing up moving the remnants off the road. Amazingly, little to no road damage.

Now why is that amazing? These boulders were HUGE! My brother was able to take a couple quick shots as he drove by shortly after we were there. Granted, they were as he was driving bye, so not at his usual par. But if you look carefully above the rear view mirror you can see some of the workers on top of one of the boulders.
This is about where the car just stopped and we were able to pull over. Notice the size of the boulders compared to the trucks. They filled up both of the right hand lanes. And the men on top.



Here is probably the taller of the two boulders with the workers on top of it. Amazingly, as said earlier, little road damage.
