Thread Name: Lyr Req: Wolf Creek Pass (from C. W. McCall)
Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Ended up in downtown Pagosa Springs
Just a note for those who care about such things or for those who want to stump a friend on music trivia. McCall has the tunnel on the west side of Wolf Creek Pass (between the summit and Pagosa Springs). There is no tunnel on that side, but there is an avalanche snow tunnel on the east side (between the summit and South Fork). Of course the song is hilarious regardless of where the tunnel is, but it sure would be nice if some engineers in Colorado would build a tunnel between the summit of Wolf Creek Pass and Pagosa Springs so the song would be geographically correct. After hearing this song no one can drive over Wolf Creek Pass without thinking about that truck full of chickens screaming by at the rate of 22,000 telephone poles per hour.
