The fences are actually called snow fences and are placed in known locations of snow drifting. The locations are also effected by what tax $$$$ are paying for the maintenance of the roads. You have local, county, state, and federal roads.
I see your headed to the more scenic side of the country, great riding ahead.

G’day

The windscreen was no good for me, it was too tall and although it may reduce wind buffeting, I could not really tell due to the crosswind. I hate looking through screens, when they are bug filled and lowering sun, no good whatsoever.

That said, it may be OK for a taller upper bodied rider

Hi Al

I am doing Pikes Peak tomorrow, I did Mt Evans today and another dirt road through some pass down to Grant.

I will check out those roads, but I am intending heading north to Yellowstone and Bear Tooth Pass before hitting Canada

Maybe we will see eachother, if we do, it is beer time

Cheers TS

I thought that in a way as well, but they were never in all the places, just some.

I have since found the answer and it will be in the next post.

Thanks for your comment TS

Great to see that you’re still travelling well Richard. I’m keen to hear what your impressions of the Windstrom screen were. Take care, Nigel

Hey Richard, you haven’t heard from us in a while but we’ve been keeping up with your travels, really enjoying seeing the country through your eyes. We hope you take advantage of riding up to Pike’s Peak, you’re so close it would be a shame to miss it, talk about a “Rocky Mountain High”. The other place that Ann and I really enjoyed is the “Million Dollar Hwy” between Ouray and Silverton and if you do make it that far south take in Telluride, you will enjoy it and what a great place to be this time of year. We might be in the same part of the country later this summer we are heading to the Northwest, we will keep watch and let you know, would love to have a beer and a chat. “Ride On”
