U.S. Route 491 (US 491) is a north–southU.S. Highway serving theFour Corners region of the United States. It was created in 2003 as a renumbering ofU.S. Route 666 (US 666). With the US 666 designation, the road was nicknamed the "Devil's Highway" because of the significance of the number666 to manyChristian denominations as theNumber of the Beast. ThisSatanic connotation, combined with a high fatality rate along the New Mexico portion, convinced some people the highway was cursed. The problem was compounded by persistentsign theft. These factors led to two efforts to renumber the highway, first by officials inArizona, then by those inNew Mexico. There have been safety improvement projects since the renumbering, and fatality rates have subsequently decreased.

The highway, now a spur route ofUS 91 via its connection toUS 191, runs throughNew Mexico,Colorado andUtah, as well as the tribal nations of theNavajo Nation andUte Mountain Ute Tribe. The highway passes by two mountains considered sacred by Native Americans:Ute Mountain and an extinct volcanic core namedShiprock. Other features along the route includeMesa Verde National Park andDove Creek, Colorado, the self-proclaimed pinto-bean capital of the world. (Full article...)

Adolph Herman Joseph Coors Sr. (February 4, 1847 – June 5, 1929) was aGerman-American brewer who founded theAdolph Coors Company inGolden, Colorado, in 1873.

This section is an excerpt fromAdolph Coors § Golden Brewery.[edit]

On November 14, 1873, Coors and the Denver confectioner Jacob Schueler purchased the abandoned Golden City Tannery and converted it to the Golden Brewery. By February 1874 they were producing beer for sale, hitting the market at the beginning of April. In 1880, Coors purchased Schueler's interest, and the brewery was renamed Adolph Coors Golden Brewery.[1] WhenProhibition began in Colorado in 1916, he converted his brewery to makemalted milk. The company also manufactured porcelain and ceramic products made from clay mined in Golden. The Coors Porcelain division has since split off and is now known asCoorsTek.
