Georgetown loop

Friday morning, we got tickets to ride the Georgetown loop railroad.  I didn't realize two things about Colorado. I didn't realize that they had such a good/silver rush.  I also didn't realize that they had such close dealings with South America.  A lot of the train equipment went back and forth between Colorado and Argentina.  The steam train that we rode was 103 years old and has been in constant use the whole time.  I was joking with Jer that it was a very useful engine. It was a higher elevation, so I took my blood pressure meds in my pocket.  I got a little nauseous, but not too bad....but the pills fell out of my pocket and got lost. Whoops. 




The bridge was rebuilt three times.  The first time, they had built it backwards!
