The Teller County Car Wash |
Every once in a while, it’s a good idea to wash the family
truck. Keeps the paint looking like ...
well ... looking like paint. When that
time comes at Pass Patrol, we take’um down to the Teller County Car Wash. It’s a drive-through wash and if everything
goes right, it is free. Of course things
don’t always go exactly the way they’re planned. Although everybody else got through okay,
Dusty’s wash cost him right about $800 and two weekends of hard labor.
There are a few things you need to know about the Teller
County Car Wash before you go rushing off in hopes of saving a few
quarters. First of all, the driveway
into the thing has a few rough spots, especially if you go in by way of Deckers
and down Longwater Road. Okay, so maybe
it’s got a lot of rough spots, but then Colorado is known as the state where
all the roads have signs such as “watch for falling rocks”, “road narrows ahead”,
“steep grade next two miles”, “rock slide area”, and “do not cross during high
water”. Longwater Road has all those
neat attractions but they don’t bother with the signs.
