This story is too coincidental to be believed - but here goes anyway. My wife and I are driving from Woodland Park, along Hwy 24 (down Ute Pass) to Colorado Springs. This time of year, the leaves are off the many narrow-leaf cottonwoods that line the middle of the pass that drops about 1,200' betwe
