Black Hawk-November 27, 2017

Today's beautiful weather was an invitation to go to the mountains, more especially to Black Hawk.

This is my favorite spot on I-70 headed west. It's the first time that
the snow capped mountains are in full view.
 
Layers and layers of foothills and mountains.
 
This is strip mining in the Rockies. It is very different from strip
mining in the South because here they are mining rocks.
Yes, rocks of all sizes. Brown, ugly, dirty rocks.
 
I have tried repeatedly to get a picture of this black hawk so
that the face is visible. I finally succeeded. This is a beautiful
piece of art. And it's huge. In the background on the top of a
hill is the Ameristar hotel. We have been tempted to stay there
so we can see what a view they may have.
 
This is the first time this has not been orchids. Instead it is
butterflies and poinsettias. Very nice. Inside the Monarch.
They are making great progress building their new hotel.
We are excited!
 
I must share this with you. Jerry found another female
machine that paid him good money. This was on the
Can-Can machine. There were only two machines so
we sat down side by side. The dancer was not as kind to
me. She applauded for Jerry and waved and smiled big
plus paying him. Not sure about him and the women machines.
The only man machine I could find was Zeus and he is nothing
to write home about.
 
And last but not least..............
Kid's car seats are good for more than kids. It works
great when you have breakable cargo on rough I-25. So happy a
cop did not stop us. He might have thought we were nuts!
 
It was another wonderful day that we were blessed to enjoy.
