First some city streets. Then some highway. Then narrow, winding, ascending way up, up, up to our destination, Leadville, CO, at elevation 10,152’ above sea level, on a two-lane paved road with no guardrails. <sigh>
Walking up then down the Main Street, we saw shops with gifts, pottery making, an historical place called House with the eye museum, which was closed for the season, but you can still see the stained glass eye window, and the best bar name ever: High altitude thirst aid center!!!
Our time of departure arrived, so at the designated time, we pulled in to the train depot, climbed aboard, and off we went. Our conductor, Lanora, not only called “All aboard!”, welcomed us aboard, checked our tickets, but she also told stories and shared facts along our two-hour round-trip ride.
Today, we went north to Estes Park, because it was recommended to me by several people, including a bartender at our local watering hole, Bar Nun. It was fantabulous.
Whether you’re living in a place, new or current, or visiting, you can always find cool things to do. Sometimes I type: “Cool things to do in…” in Google and I find some vetted FUN. Go hunt the good stuff!!
