old west ghost town museum...w-o-o-o
well, sunday being a day of rest, we rested, after doing the laundry, that is. sunday was a well-deserved day off. we did go for a drive in the afternoon so that i could take some photos of old barns and run-down buildings and equipment; only found one old barn, but it was a doozie! nancy spent some time in the evening doing some hand-quilting to relax her before bed. but, today found us on the road again leaving strasburg, co on the way through colorado springs, co via i-70, e-470, and i-25. we had found a brochure at the strasburg koa about a ghost town museum in colorado springs, so we decided to stop and check it out. it looked like they had captured the late 1880s in this huge building. i think they had saved an old ghost town in colorado from destruction during building of freeways and developments and reassembled it in this climate-controlled exhibit. it was a very well-done exhibit, which we both enjoyed. we even found a couple of old ghosts there that tagged along with us as we left. then it was back on the road to colorado city, co for the afternoon and evening at the koa. on the way, i found a camping world, and you know we just had to stop. i have been looking for some wide straps to help hold the water hoses coiled after we pack up to leave each site. and, of course we found a couple other things that we just had to have. tonight was cookout night, as i barbeque'd a couple of small steaks on our portable propane grill. tomorrow it's on to the land of enchantment, new mexico. yep, we're still headin' fer home...
