Colorado

This is Clear Creek here in Golden.  We are parked right next to it.  The RV park is about a half of a mile from the town.  Beautiful!

This is the Animas River down in Durango.  We were going to take the narrow rail train to Silverton.  We cancelled because the train follows this river. I took this from the TV.

This is why we cancelled.  There has been a toxic spill from an abandoned mine.  The EPA caused it.  OOPS!

This is the Clear Creek again with all the people.  It's amazing how popular this little creek is.

People ride down the creek in an inner tubes.

We're curious how many people will use it on a Monday,today.
 
We didn't take any pictures up in and around Fort Collins.  We drove one day on a circle drive that went into Wyoming and back.  We drove along the Poudre River.  It was about 200 miles long. And when we got back I bought a basket of the best peaches I've had in a long time.  YUM! The drive was beautiful and I forgot my camera. But I did get to see it.  We cut a week off of our trip because of the spill.  So we'll be home on the 22 instead of the 31.  We go to Pueblo tomorrow.  Then on to Santa Fe.  See ya soon.

We have seen news about the spill. I guess the EPA will need to fine itself.
