"The Shining" is one of my favorites of Stephen King and I recently read "Cell" If you remember Chuck, the sprawling hotel in Estes Park, Colorado was the one that was featured in the TV miniseries of "The Shining." Unfortunately I didn't get to visit there while we were in Estes Park, but I got some good pictures of it. Also, if you remember, in both the movie and the miniseries and I assume in the book they kept mentioning that the hotel was north of Denver. I do love Stephen King's books and movies.

Why anyone would ever drive a pinto? Those things always break down!

Tell you what, my first car was a Pinto. My dad bought it for me when I was 17. Wasn't a thing wrong with it. My dad traded it out from under me during my first year of college. I think that was after it was learned that Pintos would explode if struck from the rear. ;D
Dad traded the Pinto for a Mustang II. Nice lookin' vehicle, but we had so much trouble with the electronic ignition. Damn car would cut out on me--engine would stop dead--when I was going 60 mph on the interstate. After that experience, nearly 30 years ago, to this day I would not own a Ford if you gave it to me. >:(

I had that same trouble with a Mercury Jeff. Holy crap what a pain in the ass. I had that car in the same shop
three times in one day...they never did fix it.. My husband finally figured out what it was, and disconnected the unit
that caused the problem....It was the idle control switch....he just deactivated it. No more trouble.

You want dull drivin' in Virginia, try King William and King and Queen County in Tidewater. I used to pass through there on my way to Williamsburg. I'd come down 301 and then cut off to the southeast to take back roads to Williamsburg and avoid Richmond. I thought I'd go out of my mind with the dullness. That was a long time ago. I'd have to consult a map to check the route numbers.
My favorite dullest highway ;D is the Pennsylvania Turnpike between Harrisburg and Carlisle.
