Earache Posted July 14, 2020 Share Posted July 14, 2020 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... 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Earache Posted July 14, 2020 Author Share Posted July 14, 2020 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... 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They had it locked up due to Covid-19, it's usually open. Very spartan inside and not very big at all. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boboneleg Posted July 14, 2020 Share Posted July 14, 2020 Who pays for the upkeep of that church ? It hardly looks like it's an area with a huge congregation Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
