Book cover... JUDGED!
Today...
was another crazy beautiful day, driving on our way to see @snook, @enginewitty, @jayna, (and more more more hehehe) for the Colorado Alliance meetup.
We arrived - we are finally in Colorado.... but... a day early! So - we needed to find an AirBNB for the night! Miss @mariannewest found the only one left in the area - right outside the town we are meeting in! COOL!!!
or... was it?
As we were approaching the town, it started to look a little beat up! LOLOL Then as we pulled onto the main road - it looked VERY beat up. Some abandoned buildings interspersed with totally remodeled ones... an odd mix - but intriguing and.... a little spooky! LOL
However... the architecture was exquisite. (that post will follow tomorrow!) We were really impressed with what remained of the town - which is a town that hosts the oldest running gold mine! But..... we couldn't find our AirBNB. We finally found it - and it looked very very sketch LOL I busted up laughing and told @mariannewest that I was WORRIED!
She - is an adventurer however! and wasn't worried in the least! But - we couldnt access the wifi, and needed to find someplace that had it - so we could get the instructions on how to get the key!
Finally - we found an old hotel and restaurant. (the bartender inside was just a teeny bit a lot tipsy, and I interrupted his olive, salt, and saltine cracker "sandwich" 🤐 to ask him if they had wifi we could use. After he dropped a few olives on the floor (hehehe) he informed us yep! they did - and so...we went here for dinner.
The decor in here was SUPER cool - old - kinda like the Tower of Terror (from Disney - my favorite ride!) But totally authentic. Check out these pics!
Awesome chairs in the lobby!
Anyone care to play a tune?
If you're late for check-in - your keys will be in an envelope with your name in this magical display!! hehe
We finished our lunch - which was pretty good, despite some strange oddities - but this post is already gonna be long so.... moving right along! Time to get our instructions and head back to this building that held our AirBNB room. By the way - the outside.... looked kinda abandoned and filled with construction stuff. hmmmmm are you SURE @mariannewest!?!?! 😅
On our walk.... a bit of hope? a beautiful flower that outshined the abandoned buildings behind it.... maybe this would be ok after all!
Oh dear. this is not a good sign to see upon entering the building!
@marianne!!!! now i'm SCARED! 🤣🤣🤣 (even though that tile is gorgeous and the metal stamped pieces on the wall??? wow!!!! )
Opening the door.... hmmmmm two eyes staring back at us... Strange - but kinda cool?
Ok.... clearly someone remodeled INSIDE this hallway! what a surprise!
And knights to protect us??? How appropriate. After all, we ARE royalty 🤩
The moment of truth! Entering the room!
HOORAY! WE WILL NOT DIE TONIGHT! HAHAHAHAHAHA!
WOW.... totally cool adventure

Take sone pictures then act asleep when she wakes up
hahahahahahahahaha you're a nut! LOL
Last time we went to Pittsburgh the first night we stayed in a hotel that stunk, had all kinds of weird stains, and had a feeling of death. We were exhausted and did sleep well. I kept thinking something would pop out and get us every second I was awake. The lock didnt even work on the door to the parking lot. The room door lock worked just not the one to the hallway from outside.
hehehehe well this one does not stink of death LOL
its pretty cool inside - you just had to get past all the freaky remodeling hahahaha
The midwest has some interesting places....course Colorado isnt the MID-west
Listening to their accents... Or some from.today- i might think it WAS the mid west hehe

Now I am concerned. Going to put gas in my car right now....on the way to wherever you are.

If I should die before I wake (better than waking up dead I guess).
That's a rather freaky-looking town, definitely... but your room is amazing! There's a place downtown Cripple Creek called "The Brass Ass" 😂 Hope y'all have tons of fun at the Block Party!!! 🤗
