Back in Colorado

[tamrock]

I'm back in my home state now and staying at the Delaware Hotel in Leadville, Colo. In the 70's I lived at this old hotel and it's been fixed up a allot from those days. The rate ain't bad either, as this single room was less then $60.00 for just me. Other photos are around Ouray, Colo and I saw a rainbow coming in to Buena Vista, Colo. It was very close to RGINN's Ruby Mountain camp ground. I wonder if he left it there

I'm jealous! In this particular part of my state we don't have awesome scenery like that, mostly just boring, flat land. Sweet pictures!

Ok, it just might be a ton more beautiful than Texas...

I've seen it rainin' fire in the sky

What are you seeing? I lived in San Antonio and I saw beautiful women everywhere in that town. Get down to the river-walk and post us some photos. Just use your phone camera or what ever you got for a camera. I'd love to see it again.

I thought that about Iowa when I lived there. I go to see my mom these days and wonder why I never took note of some of the beautiful scenery back there then. I'll bet if you look at things in a new way you'll see some beauty in the land. Please share it with us when it becomes clear to you.

Texas has some great scenery. Since I live in the mountains it may sound strange but I really like the Llano Estacado. I spent the first 50 years of my life in western Oklahoma I still get a little homesick for the plains, where at least you can see what's comin for a long ways off. Too hot and dry for me these days, but not bad if you know where the waterholes are. I don't know about Ohio. Snow in the forecast for us here in Summit County tonight.

I got out high country just in time I see. Cooler and cloudy here on the front range now. Nice breeze blowing through the house with the windows open.

I love Colorado and don't plan on moving away. Second prettiest state I have lived in Alaska being the first.

We were over that way this weekend. Here is a shot of Mt Princeton from Wilkerson Pass, looking out over South Park.

We also saw some mountain blue birds from Wilkerson Pass.

I like that hill country also. I had the Texas territory with a previous company I worked for and I only wished I carried a camera in those days. I recall many wonderful sites. Some of those sun rises and sun sets are just marvelous.

Looking over South Park I see... Do any gold prospecting?

While planned, I did not get to do any this past weekend. I was going to stop and sluice a few hours on the Arkansas above Buena Vista but the weather was threatening to close Ute Pass on Highway 24 back into Colorado Springs. The Waldo Canyon Fire, 2 years ago has made that a flash flood area. When they close the pass, you have to go way out of the way to get back to Colorado Springs; either south via Cañon City and Pueblo or through Denver. Neither a good alternative....

Great pictures Tamrock, wish I was back there about now. It's already in the mid 90s here in FL.
