All in Colorado

[tamrock]

These are some of the sights I passed today along the road. I was going to head up to Green River Wyoming, but something came up were I'll need to be back in Denver by today, so I swung by a place in Marble, Colorado. After that I couldn't make it through the Glenwood canyon on I70 because they are closing the interstate from 9:00 AM to 3:00 PM yesterday and today for rock fall control. I decided I'll take the road that goes through Crawford, Colorado and connect to highway 50 to Gunnison and from there I'll take a trip over Cottonwood pass. I spent some time up top of Cottonwood just to relax some and that's where I took the picture of the little bird. Coming into Leadville I took a picture of this old mine head frame with the sun setting behind it. This old head frame was moved to the location it is now from an old mine along with other old mine equipment in a place called String Town as that was the place all the silver ore from the the many mines was smelted back in Leadville's boom days.

BREATHTAKING!! ...REALLY!!

There's "several" favorites there!

 

[Old Dude]

Yeah, I don't know if I could pick a favorite either. How do you drive? My eyes would be wandering and admiring the scenery!

I drive slow and let everyone pass. That way I can keep an eye on this and not them.

Nice town Crawford is. So did you know Joe Cocker when he was around? It was a nice drive on 92 that day.

No. Just met him a couple times. He sponsored my baseball team one year.

Hey tamrock!! GORGEOUS PICS!! My ex-wife's grandmother would tell the story of remembering when she was a small girl and riding out on a Burro's back in the mountains after her father had been mining for silver up in the Leadville area!! Could you only imagine!! Anyway, GOOD LUCK and GOOD HUNTING!! VERDE!!

Leadville has Burro race every year. I can only imagine myself what touring the mountains on a Burro in those days must have been like for her. Had to be very memorable time for her life.
