Cowboy, framed
The Crawford, a hotel located in Denver’s Union Station, has a lot of interesting places to explore. One day, we found this series of framed cowboys staggered down a staircase.

The guard trees
The internet told me that Matheson, Colorado, has a population on 94. My eyes told me that number seemed sort of exaggerated.
I wouldn’t have been here at all, except that I decided (on a whim that turned into an Absolute Mission) that on our trip to Colorado, we would completely avoid driving on any Interstates. That made for some interesting routes, and included quite a few miles on unpaved roads.
One of those unpaved roads brought us here, to an abandoned church guarded by dead trees.

It’s a matter of priorities
For fiscal reasons, I am assuming, a lot of little towns forgo opening the municipal swimming pools during the summer.

The long and well-lighted hallway
This is a pretty crappy hotel – cardboard boxes and other flammable stuff stored in the fire exit, lumpy pillows, exfoliating towels, etc. But it did have this going for it: a nice view of a long, lighted hallway.
So, there’s that.

Couldn’t drag me away
Actual conversation:
Me – Look at that cloud! I don’t think we’d better make any more stops. We need to get away from that storm.
Patient Spouse – (no comment)
Me – Wait! I need to get that shot.
Patient Spouse – (no comment)
(Repeat many times, as needed.)
