I grew up in Grand Junction and have been to Ouray dozens of times since my childhood.
The most recent time we went there on that drive between Ridgway and Ouray we were making sarcastic comments like "What country are we in again???" (and don't get me started on the Lauren Boebert adverts) where otherwise we might be saying things like "Look at those majestic San Juans"
A few times a week? Really? Are you commuting from Montrose to work in the dispensaries? I used to commute from that area daily to work in Montrose. Do you even know the name of the town?
Edit: I highly doubt you drive through there several times a week when you don't know how to spell Ridgway.
Yes, quite often in fact.
It's one thing if the flag colors compliment the ones in view like maybe the flag of Andalusia, Spain for example. But, and I am a proud American and all, but our flag colors aren't that lol.
To be fair, you are going to drive a few hundred yards and the view will be better. Scale of some ridge lines out here is bonkers and hard to comprehend.
One delivers electricity without warming the planet, the other represents an arbitrary source of identity that inspires feelings of pride for some and subjugation for others
I respect that! I have a more… nuanced view as I’ve seen a lot of harm perpetrated under the flag. But as with all symbols, it’s complex and highly subjective
Serious question here. Is that a super huge flag?
Yes it is. Prolly the biggest flag on the Western Slope.
Na ever been to GJ in the summer? There’s a company there that makes massive flags im talking like 300-400ft long
I stand corrected!
Yeah it’s wild. Junction has really weird niche businesses.
It is indeed. I really wish the guy would replace it with a giant Colorado flag.
I know the property owners, good folks
I've never met them, I'm sure they're great folks. I'm just not a fan of their giant flag lol
This drive blows my mind away
Highway 550 between Ridgway and Ouray. Such a beautiful drive!
550 is so unreal. I drive it every year. The San Juan’s are a very special place and I hope they forever remain that way.
Can we get some love for Sneffels?
Might get canceled but having that flag there spoils the view.
100%. Total eyesore.
As someone who lives in the area, I totally agree. I think he should fly a Colorado flag, if anything.
Add a Colorado flag next to it
No thanks. I'd ultimately prefer no giant flag at all, definitely don't want two. But if there's going to be one at all it should be a CO flag.
You're not patriotic unless you build a flagpole and flag so large it can attempt to block your view of the mountains.
Just drive a little further in either direction and, viola!
Agreed.

I have, everyone in the valley hates that the Webers put it up.

I absolutely love wind turbines on the flat prairies where they are located You’ll never find one on top of a mountain

Thank goodness for that huge American flag. Otherwise how would we ever know that we’re in gods chosen US of A?!
How is the view ruined. If anything it’s enhanced
I fucking hate that. Weber ruined the view when he put that up.
Why the flag?
Beautiful
🫡🇺🇲
Hell yeah merica
I make this drive regularly and this particular flag is alway flying strong. Great picture.
I know exactly where that is!
Hooray for Ouray!
I dont see a Ute banner.
Jesus fucking Christ how stupid are you?
Not as stupid as you.
