Colorado, Land of Crap on the Highway
So this last Saturday, we’re driving up miserable Parker Road, and up ahead in the middle of the middle lane, what should my wondering eye behold but a bunch of dried up weeds and grass wrapped in an old bedsheet, and I mean a BUNCH–this was like a queen-size sheet and it was stuffed to overflowing, Santa-style.
Seeing some weird shit in the middle of the road is not unusual in Colorado, for this is the Land of Crap on the Highway™…my favorite to date was the sofa blocking the left lane of I-70 going up Genessee Hill.
What are your best Crap-on-the-Highway stories?
Propz to Porkchop for coining the term

I haven’t seen any Crap-on-the-Highway in Colorado, but I once saw a full-size trampoline blowing down the highway in Texas.
The wind is a mofo here.

We were Eastbound on Hampden stopped at the light on Federal. The light turns green and a rust-bucket truck with a dingy, dented camper top, packed with crap, ahead of us in the other lane lurches forward setting loose a coleman cooler full of lunch fixins which spread over the lane. The driver was oblivious, but we thought it was pretty funny.

Wheelbarrow.
A big ole, fully intact green wheelbarrow on 6 Eastbound somewhere between Kipling and Sheridan over in the far left lane up against the concrete divider.
If someone is missing a green wheelbarrow, there it sits.

The other day Heather saw, and get this, one lone red boxing glove.
Later that day we saw a sleeping bag rolled up next to the center median, and then a sock.
Wtf.
