The next time you drive over any of the off road passes in Ouray County please say a special thanks to Dave Leonardi, a member of the Ouray County Road and Bridge crew who for the past 17 years has been the Catapillar driver who opens the passes for us. Without his devotion and sometimes dangerours work, we may not have the opportunity to be up there until just before the snow returns in the fall! Thanks Dave!
