On to the local ghost town; Apex Valley. It's located about 7 miles north of Balck Hawk and one mile south of my house. On a dead end dirt road, very few people go up there. Several old abandoned houses and a hotel up there...
-
Downtown Black Hawk - one of our two streets. We have a few casinos in town but that's about it. No other businesses...
-
Lots of rock climbers come to this area for the vertical climbs, look on the canyon walls and you'll see them. Lots of kayakers as well....
-
Riding back up the canyon, shooting pics as I ride, so they are kinda blurry at times. Six tunnels on the way...
-
Woohoo - rockin' in the big city. Gassed up and then back up the canyons to Black Hawk... Link to Astor House: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Astor_House_(Golden,_Colorado)

This little house on the outskirts of Golden is abandoned, but looks nice enough to live in. A bit small, but still nice enough...
-
This guy makes me mad - his horses have a better house then I do! Jealous.
-
Hills aren't nearly as big as we go down in elevation, but the roads are nice!
-
This one kinda pisses me off - it's nice enough (on the outside) to actually live in. Nice stone buildings been sitting here empty for years...
-
Didn't want to go too far today, so I stayed near home. Had to run to Golden (30 miles) for some fuel but the road getting there doesn't suck so no worries there. OIf course, there's a few abandoned buildings along the way...

Montana, Wyoming and Colorado are all mostly prairies. But all have a mountainous area - less than 15% of the land probably. In 10 days I have a trip planned to Kansas and will post pics of what most of Colorado looks like. Hint: it ain't pretty!

Such as...?

Another cockpit shot with my buddy Dave - meeting of the minds as we decide which way to go. Shot by his pillion/wife Debbie...

Dankeschon! We should have a bunch of you guys come over next summer for a week's ride in Colorado. I'll guide for the low, low price of 2 cold beers per night.
-
Route if anyone cares.....
-
That would get boring pretty quickly, I'm afraid. Can't wait for you guys to see the pics from our Wyoming / Montana and not Canada because they won't let us in Trip scheduled for next month. Should have some, great pics.
-
I'm gonna start using that excuse - thanks!

That's there year 'round. Chilly up over 13,000 feet. My house is around 10,000' and it's right at freezing most mornings. Well below it at 13-14K feet. And we just had snow last week.
-
Steered the Big Blue Turd for home. Another nice morning of riding completed.
-
Popped outta the woods and there's another lake. Conveniently located next to the paved road home...
-
Perfect day for it today - sunny and about 62F (17C)...
-
The "road" has officially become a goat path....
-
Doesn't look so bad in pics, but the "road" was getting pretty bad with lots of rocks and water....
-
Now here's a house I can afford! Previous owner seems to have moved on... Just south of Montezuma....
-
I was gonna put my summer house here, but I was, again, short a few million dollars.....
