Northern Colorado


Earache

Recommended Posts

Had a friend in from Washiungton state, he stopped over night befoire heading north to Montana. I agreed to take him as far north as I could before having to head back home.

First stop was the rock church in Allenspark. Built around 120 years ago, dunno why it's out in the midst of nothing. Didn't want to get any closer; afraid of lightning strikes, etc...

Railed on for a bit as we were in a bit of a hurry. Next stop was Masonville at the Masonville Store. Odd place; they sell antique / vintage women's clothing and beer. Can't quite figure that one out.

Weird biker sculpture across the street...

Thanks for the report. I really miss riding those roads.
It made me very nostalgic for the Hinckleyville, the K100, the CB750, the ELR ZRX, and even the K1200 LuxuryTruck.

 

Come on up for some riding someime - not that far away.

Fantastic Eric! And that's a strange looking old church!

They had it locked up due to Covid-19, it's usually open. Very spartan inside and not very big at all.

Who pays for the upkeep of that church ?  It hardly looks like it's an area with a huge congregation ?

No idea. I've been by there on a Sunday morning and there's not really anyone there. No towns of any size nearby, either.

It's a Catholic church though, real name is  Saint Catherine of Siena Chapel. So I assume whatever archdiocese that covers Colorado takes care of it. It's well kept though.
