This morning was pretty much given over to visiting some of Golden's sites.
First up was the Buffalo Bill Cody Museum & Grave which can be reached after driving up the five miles of twists and turns of Lariate Road to reach the top of Lookout Mountain. The museum (www.buffalobill.org) is a great collection of items from the famous showman, his life, and the impact he had on the image of the "wild west."
After that, we drove back into town and went to the Coors Brewery(www.coors.com) for the tour of the production facilities. It was interesting to see the process and evolution of beer making. Coors is the largest employer in the town and the plant dominates the eastern side of town.
Deciding we needed a break from the road, we headed south where we had reservations in Colorado Springs. We'll be here for a few days before heading back to Nebraska to take care of some church-related business.
See you later!
