After a day of skiing in Breckenridge I decided to take a scenic drive on Highway 9, as someone told me it was a pretty drive, not to mention, an alternate route to I70 to get back to Denver and the airport. Off I went, enjoying the scenery. Speed limit is mostly 55 – 65 mph, with nominal traffic. You come out of the mountains and start descending into the town of Alma, which pops up on your unexpectedly. As you’re coming DOWN THE HILL into the town, I got popped by radar going 43 in a 30 mph zone. The “officer” immediately said I was “speeding,” and then proceeded to spell “speeding” to me. No break for being out of town and unfamiliar with the area, not seeing the speed limit sign, nor for coming DOWN A HILL into town, in spite of the fact he indicated I was continuing to slow as he clocked me. Became pretty obvious this was an income racket by the local municipality. Either AVOID ALMA altogether, or beware!
