The ride through Telluride

I have a fascination with mountains.

I know your surprised.

 They're beautiful and everychanging.

At the bottom - a beautiful lake scene.

 Through the quaint town of which I took lousy pix

you can see the waterfall from afar off.

As you get closer - there are 2 coming off the mountain

and would you look at the house.

Second falls.

And they were mining right below those falls.

 And as we traveled up the mountain - abandoned

mines - swooning here.

 This abandoned mining home was irresistable and

look at the windows. 

How cool, creative an fun are there.

 We got up high.

Really, really HIGH.

Of course it involved white knuckles grasping the dashboard

to help avoid those death defying road dropoffs

that seriously was around every flippin' turn.

Wyoming, Montana, Idaho

Meet Kateri, a golden eagle that's part of the raptor

experience at the Cody Museum in Wyoming.

Put this museum on your bucket list.

It is absolutely amazing - acres and acres of western

memorabilia and guns - every manufacturer, make and model

and a lot of Buffalo Bill's personal effects.

 Then we were on our way back to Idaho to

get our steps fixed - A shout out to Eagle Rock RV who

took excellent care of us - going the extra mile for customer

satisfaction - You ever need help with your RV - take it there.

 Love old buildings.

 And abandoned mines.

 The story.

 A stained glass window of a house as we

blew through Red Lodge Montana.

 Every turn is stunning.

 How cool is this.

 And mountains look like they were painted in.

We ended up at Moose Creek RV camp - a dry camp

along a rushing river - its one were you

are rolling down the road and there it is - and

you pull in - with senior discount it was $7.00 to camp.

If not $14.00 per day.

Seriously folks - and the atmosphere, scene is beautiful.

It was cold and a storm blew in - and we happened to befriend

a female camper who was camping in a tent.

Very interesting lady, we chatted and had dinner together while waiting

for the storm to blow over.

Abandoned Mines and Mountains

 Gilman County abandoned mining town

 Eagle Mine

Scenes on our way to Vail.

Where we missed a turn and wound up in Minturn.

Mountains and valleys and mines oh my.

You never know what you'll see when you turn a corner.

And its almost always beautiful!
