When we last left our hero, he had just gotten a head start on exploring the old mining areas northeast of Silverton, Colorado. We resume the next morning when, for some reason, he (that is, I) decided that this first day of July would be … Continue reading Leftover Colorado, part four (July 2013)
Today’s post is a continuation from last week’s part two. (Will wonders never cease?) According to Google maps, the drive from Durango to Silverton, Colorado should take about one hour. I scheduled an entire day for this drive, as I expected it to be a … Continue reading Leftover Colorado, part three (June 2013)
Happy ThrowBack Thanksgiving to all! As Beavis and/or Butt-Head once said, this is the holiday when “you can burp and poop all you want.” And since I intend to spend a lot of time on those two activities, I will try to keep today’s post … Continue reading Leftover Colorado, part two (June 2013)
During the spring of 2013, after more than 20 years living in Colorado, I made the decision to move to North Carolina by the end of the year. You would think that 20 years would be enough for me to see everything I wanted to … Continue reading Leftover Colorado, part one (June 2013)
From Vail Pass to Hoosier Pass to Kenosha Pass…it seems like ThrowBack Thursday has become an exploration of Colorado mountain passes. And ain’t nothin’ wrong with that!

As you may or mayn’t recall from a previous ThrowBack Thursday, the first thing I did with my Good Camera was to take it for a stroll around downtown Denver. Well, a couple months later, I decided it was time for a similar stroll. This … Continue reading Denver, Colorado (late Spring 2013)
Ladies and gentlemen, ThrowBack Thursday (TBT) has returned! But it’s a pretty weak return. I’m so exhausted from writing up the last two weeks in Colorado, that I’m making this week’s TBT a tiny one. So here ya go…the ghost town of Wallstreet, Colorado…pics taken during the Spring of 2013…
That’s it for now. Tune in next week for a full-size TBT.
I have long contended that U.S. Interstate Highway 70 through western Colorado is the most scenic length of Interstate in the country. I finally set out to prove it in the Spring of 2013, after having lived in Colorado for nearly 22 years. During one … Continue reading I-70 in Western Colorado (Spring 2013)
