Day 6...Leaving Salida; Arriving Leadville, Colorado

We checked out of the motel in the morning, after riding for 8 miles on the bike trail that goes through the City of Salida,
had a great breakfast

and cleaned up the van before starting our trip to Leadville, Colorado, alt 10,800 feet.


Leadville is a town that is the highest populated town in the United States. It started out as a mining town.

It has many of these mining cars dispersed throughout the town; currently being used as very large flower pots, cute though.

We had dinner at the Golden Burro...they have another name for it! I had the Fried Chicken and was happy as a clam.


We walked around town after dinner and found the most unusual purple house.


Here we met up with our camping buddies Len and Marlene and got the tents set up before the late afternoon shower. We did squeeze in a walk around the two loops of our campground and the lake before the rain.
