8/25
9:30 – Going with Downings – 9:45 Donna and Terrie just realized we were ready. We went to Boulder Hot Springs Hotel and Spa. It was built in 1880's for workers on the railroad. It was a grand hotel that attracted people for the therapeutic hot springs. It had sat empty for 40 years but is being rehabbed.
We explored 2 old mine ruins that are now ghost towns. (Elkhorn and Comet) The history represented by these places is hard to imagine. We went in Downings Dodge V10, 4wd pickup, over mountains to places that were so beautiful and interesting you'll have to see the pictures to appreciate it.
