Friday Field Trip - Colorado Vistas

First: tomorrow is the last day to use the 50% off coupon at Smashwords for Finding Sarah & Hidden Fire. Click the Deals and Steals tab for links and codes. Also. as of the time of scheduling this post, I need only 5 more Google followers before there's a giveaway.

A few weeks ago, I mentioned that we'd gone up to the American Eagle Overlook, and there was lots of old mining crap equipment. There were also some vistas, which I promised to share with you. We also hiked another nearby trail, which also had lots of old mining crap equipment and more vistas. And a critter. Today it's just vistas (and the critter).

First - there's an active gold mine below the overlook. (And when you drive up there, the guard makes it very clear that you are not welcome anyplace other than the road to the overlook.) Personally, I prefer the views away from the mining operation, although the guys liked watching the big trucks. 

Friday Field Trip - American Eagle Overlook

First, you can still have a chance to win a copy of FINDING SARAH -- just scroll to yesterday's post and leave a comment. Winner announced on Sunday. And I'm still looking for 500 followers on Google Connect and 250 'likes'.

In addition to high tea, our guests enjoy (make that REALLY enjoy) hiking. One of our excursions began at the American Eagle min overlook, near Victor, Coloardo.

Today it's mining stuff. I'll have vistas another time. (click to enlarge)
