I do know, however, that when > 666 gets into Colorado it becomes 160. Actually, the road that goes north out of Gallup is 264. At the bustling metropolis of Yah-Tah-Hey, it heads west and 491 starts. 491 continues north through such places as Tohatchi, Sheep Springs, and Newcomb until it gets to Shiprock. It continues north as 491 into Colorado where it joins up with 160 and continues on to Cortez, CO, where 160 heads east and 666 starts northward and a little westward. After passing though such notable locales as Arriola, Lewis, Yellow Jacket, Pleasant View, Calhone, Dove Creek, and Northdale, it crosses the Utah line, going mostly west, where it tees into 191 at Monticello. > That is a beautiful but strange stretch of road. I can only imagine. Craig
