That picture with snow on the pickup? That's what greeted me when I stepped outside at 6 AM - and it just started snowing again. Tens of thousands of people head for the CO high country each year to play in the snow. We are not among them. We are soooooooo outta here - as soon as the roads are safe to travel that is.
The other pix show prime examples of dwellings in Leadville, quite the dog's breakfast.
Had a great time last night, chatting with the locals, playing bar shuffleboard, eating greasy burgers and fries, and watching rowdies get thrown out of the pub. Actually, only one guy was thrown out but he came back in so he got thrown out twice. Slow learner. Then the cops came and questioned the owners and selected bar sitters. We chatted with the owner, a 70 year old lady, who said the guy was a recurrent problem but that after tonite he was permanently banned from the place. The lady and her daughter own the business, which has been in the family for 78 years.
Trish skunked me at shuffleboard the first game, but I finally got in the groove and won the second. We'll have the playoff at the next pub that has a shuffleboard, although you don't see the full lenth 22' tables around much anymore.
