Wednesday, July 30, 2014 Tommy's last day to play

Today is Tommy's last full day in the mountains.  Been looking at apartments & jobs for him - think he would be happy living here.  Unfortunately, we woke up to another threat of thunderstorms so once again, we picked a couple of trails close to town.  There are several trails off Colo 110 along Cement Creek.  We did two of them.  Not sure where we were: either Soda Gulch, Henrietta Gulch, and/or Niagara Gulch.

Grandma was determined to do a hike with Tommy today.

Here he is off & away; I lagged behind.



 

That's Silverton in the distance, between the trees.

I only made it a little bit past this talus.

Tommy met me on his way back from the top!

 

Next, we went to another trail & explored some old mines.

This is what the one above looked like inside:

 

 

Tommy - always in motion.

 

An old air compressor acts as a road block:

 

Tommy is going to come back in ten years & see if this Christmas tree is ready:

 

 

 

 Western Bacon Cheeseburger at Handlebars for lunch.

Pizza at Black Bear for dinner.
