We had a great day
visiting Idaho Springs, CO. This little
mining town has a lot of history.
Walking downtown we were able to see many of the original buildings that
now house quaint little shops and restaurants. I love the many different colors
of the houses. The thought of living in
a little town is not appealing to me not sure what keeps anyone here, we did
notice many breweries so many that helps!!!
No malls here so I guess I’m not moving!! But they did have a shop where they make
yummy homemade chocolates and of course I bought some!! J
Idaho Springs, was
founded in 1859, it’s the site of the first significant discovery of the
Colorado Gold Rush. Mining was largely responsible for the creation and growth
of Idaho Springs, and today the city continues to preserve and celebrate its
rich heritage.
Tomorrow we’ll be
hanging around the campsite and Saturday we’re leaving for Cheyanne WY.

Looks like a nice place to walk around. Some nice old buildings.
