Time is running out on our stay here in Colorado. Our daughter, Carissa, had told us the Trading Post, in the Garden of the Gods was really cool. It has a lot of very nice hand crafted items. Of course those fine pieces of art also come with a fine price tag. We ventured back in the park to discover for ourselves. She was correct. Some very beautiful work. We did not buy any high end pieces but we did get some fudge and some popcorn.
We left the Trading Post and went to the Ghost Town Museum. It is a totally indoor town that allows you to step back in time about 100 years. It was very cool. We toured the town and also a residence of that same time period. I had to stop by the firehouse and take a few pictures. I thought it was done very nicely. As you exited, there was a brief video on pioneer living. And then as usual, you exited into the gift shop. We strode around for a few minutes and then decided it was time for food.
We were just on the outskirts of Old Colorado City. In Old Colorado City there was a nice place to try. It is the OCC Brewery. The food was good and the beer was good. My flight consisted of Monk By Day, Kyle “Love” It, Westside Pilsner, and My Brothers Keeper. Nancy tried a special drink. It was a cucumber, minty wine drink. It looked good. She said it was okay. For our food I had the Korean-Style Cheesesteak Sandwich. It was very good. Nancy had the Colorado Bison Slider. She again said, “it’s okay”.
