I made a trip back to Simla where I was born.  Another chance to take pictures on the plains.  Highway 24 which takes you from Colorado Springs to Simla has really gotten busy.  People are living along this route whereas every 10 years ago there was really nothing between Colorado Springs and Calhan, Ramah and Simla

U.S. Route 24 (US 24) is one of the original United States highways of 1926.[1] It originally ran from Pontiac, Michigan, in the east to Kansas City, Missouri, in the west. Today, the highway’s northern terminus is in Independence Township, Michigan, at an intersection with I-75 and its western terminus is near Minturn, Colorado at an intersection with I-70. The highway transitions from north–south to east–west signage in Toledo, Ohio.
