Going thru our hundreds of glorious pix from our first real time in the Denver area, I found these last “have to add” few. Starting with “Goat Gal” Maddie, who so generously and playfully showed us not just her magnificent goat and truck farm but also some highlights of Boulder.

One of those highlights was strolling downtown with her, singing along with the “Globe Man” and then sampling brews at some of the local hotspots.

The next day we drove up to Nederland “on our way” back to Castle Rock, and it looked legendary across the alpine lake as we approached.

After a hearty lunch we drove along the icy river and paused to tour the freakish town of Black Hawk. It was probably a forgotten village a few years ago, but now there are lots of new casinos with names like Crook’s Palace and pristine sidewalks along streets with names like RichMan into the main town much larger than this residential side of the highway.

Further along the river we paused at many scenic spots like this one where colorful lichens tag the vertical rock wall rising from the far bank.

Leaving the Rockies we paused again to explore the fascinating little frontier town of Golden.

Back in Castle Rock we took a sunset stroll with Cam and Stacey, feeling both excitement to fly the Rockies again on our way home and at the same time wanting more time with the wonderful people in beautiful Colorado.
