CO Highway 9 South, Alma, CO

Alma, ColoradoJan 27, 20160 Comments

Heading South on Colorado Highway 9 about 45 minutes or an hour south of Frisco, you come across the small town of Alma, population 270 per Wikipedia. You come up a small rise, where I was told there was reduced speed limit sign of 30 MPH but I don’t recall seeing it. As I made it over the rise, I saw a 30 MPH sign up ahead and started reducing speed. The Chief of Police, likely the only policy officer in town, stopped me and said that as I came over the rise I was doing 49, which I had dropped to 44 as I passed him. I told him that was because I saw the 30 MPH sign up ahead and put on the brakes. That is when he informed me that there was an earlier sign. Invited me to take $137 directly over to the Clerk of Courts, which shared space with the Town Library around the corner. No breaks for an out of towner, in a rental car, unfamiliar with the area. As nice of a drive as Highway 9 is, I will probably stick to I-70 and I-25 to get to Pueblo.
