Today we took a drive with Shannon's mom. We started by heading north to Olathe, CO which is just 12 miles from Montrose. In addition to being famous for their sweet corn and home of the Olathe Sweet Corn Festival , Olathe was the first place Shannon's family lived when they moved from California to Colorado. We drove by their old house and many houses of others they knew back then. The population is less than 2,000 people so there's not much there in the way of a town. An elementary school, middle school, high school, and a few businesses. However, I imagine most people who live there either go to Delta or Montrose to do any significant shopping.
After driving through Olathe, we took the country roads back toward Montrose and toured the Spring Creek area east of downtown Montrose, CO. It is also an agricultural area. Lots of property and nice houses. It was a nice drive and a chance to see the area outside of town.
It seems all that driving made us hungry. On the way back home, we stopped for more of that delicious frozen custard at Freddy's.
