This County has several deputies on patrol. I have seen up to 5 different people pulled over while driving from Buena Vista to Salida. I have also received a citiation, and 7 of my friends. very heavily patrolled!! speed limit is 55 mph and they love it.

Comment (2/2004): Highly patrolled area. The only section of 285 that drops down to 55 from 65, and they will nail you. I got my ticket at 6:30 in the morning.

Comment (3/2004): I live in Buena Vista, and I can tell you from personal experience this is the last place in Colorado that you want to speed. If it isn't the 2 State Troopers in the area, its the 5 - 6 County Sheriffs that also patrol that area daily. Keep in mind this is only a 24 mile stretch that you will find 4-7 officers on at all times.......
