Near Castle Rock. This was taken on the way out to Phoenix.

This road is an area that was supposed to be home development but never made it. The guy went bankrupt or something like that, sold it to the county and it was turned into a practice area for the Douglas Police Academy officers in training to drive the cars at fast speeds.

When my husband went through the academy a few years ago – he learned how to drive and maneuver on this road. I even went with him on one of his practices and he scared the crap out of me with his mad driving skills.

I thought it was neat seeing the road from a different perspective.
