Salida Colorado to Craig Colorado Sept 12/2011

We left Salida Colorado and headed out. We stopped at Leadville for lunch at the Silver Dollar saloon for lunch. Leadville is noted for its lead carbonate rock which produces silver. Leadville is still industrious in mining today.Leaving there we headed for Steamboat Springs, Colorado. We  walked through several of the stores including the F M Light store which had been advertised along the roadway for about 50 miles. They sell western ware and I could not help but tell the clerk my Cowboy Boot story. This couple went out west and he went shopping and bought himself a pair of cowboy boots. He went back to the room wearing his new boots and strutted up and down in front of his wife and said "Notice anything different"! and she replies"No!| So he struts up and down once again and asks again,"Notice anything different"? Again she replies No! So in frustration he goes to the bathroom and takes of all his clothes and comes out t wearing just his new cowboy boots. Now do you notice anything different?. She responds No It's hanging down..it was hanging down yesterday and it will be hanging down again tomorrow. He angrily replies You want to know why its hanging down It's looking at my brand new cowboy boots!!! She said Should have bought a hat Sam Should have bought a hat..This store also had a selection of jackalopes. We had dinner at  a BBQ place and I had a little chat with Ben Franklin. and then headed out again, We  finally stopped at the Bear Valley Inn in Craig Colorado. We had gone through a little shower and looking into the sun found it difficult to see where we were going.
