Back to Morrison
Pictures were taken before frost and leaves blew off the trees - literally.

Sedalia
Had to go to Castle Rock recently, took the back road and stopped at Sedalia along the way. I was a little early, and here's what caught my eye:
 |
| Uncle Sam and flags |
 |
| I liked this metal sign at the peak of their roof |
 |
| nothing captures my attention like old wagon wheels |

Cliff Dwellings Near Manitou Springs
One doesn't have to go to southwestern Colorado to see remnants of ancient ones.
This attraction is a great mixture of old and new. Most of their native plants have identification tags.

Coors Train(s)
Several times a day, several trains rolls through the neighborhood whistling at crossings and tying up traffic. Or is it one set of engines very, very busy moving railcars around and delivering goods to and from Denver?
Our Fire District had to create fire stations on both sides of the tracks as there was no telling how long they would have to wait to get to a fire or auto accident on the other side. We have a high-speed freeway (State Highway 58) as the south border of our neighborhood as well as Interstate 70, so there is no lack of traffic emergencies.
The train has it funny moments, too. Early one morning, I saw the train stop across the road from our convenience store, the engineer jump out, run across the street against the light and buy himself a cup of coffee. To the chagrin of people at the Indiana Crossing, the tail of the train blocked it during his java run.
As anyone who lives near the railroad tracks can attest, we have one particular engineer who likes to lay on the whistle at 5 am and that gets the coyotes going.
