On the way down we made a planned stop to make a surprise visit with Alice's nephew. Tod was pleasantly surprised to see family.
We next headed to downtown Golden where there is a quilt museum.
On the way to Denver, the Rocky Mountains lie to the west.
Anyone need one of these in your back yard.
Getting closer to Golden.
What a nice city. A nice sunny day in the high 50's.
Everyone needs a hug.
Here's Grammie. Rocky Mountain Quilt Museum
6,293 individual pieces went into this quilt.
A material witness challenge. A story behind this one.
After leaving the quilt museum, we headed to Lookout Mountain where the Buffalo Bill Cody Museum and Grave are located. The elevation is over 7200 feet and a great view. There were many bike riders pedaling the 1300 foot elevation.
To the west, more Rocky Mountains. A spectacular view.
Can you read the word on the face of the building in the upper right hand side?
A wonderful view of Denver.
The North Flat top west of Golden.
The contents of the museum are mostly articles that were given to Johnny Baker, the foster son of William Cody, or replicas of things that Bill Cody may have used. When Buffalo Bill died, some of his possessions went to the Museum in Cody Wyoming while some were sold, while other artifacts went to other museums.
Bill is buried on Lookout Mountain with his wife Louisa.
This is the driver.
Tomorrow is another day and another Capitol Tour. Have a nice day all.
