    Hello Adam. Thank you for bringing us along on your trip to Denver, Colorado. Amazing how you find places that have a historic past. Doc' Holiday's place where he passed away, the Saloon named after him; are places we could never visit ourselves. The small towns are interesting to see. Thanks for sharing their history. Safe travels.

      I grew up in a small town, which is still pretty much a small town with a declining population. Big event was when a new Dollar General opened last fall. This story can repeat itself all over the country, Most people are in a hurry to get somewhere, and take the interstate. Always wanted to take US1 from Maine to Key West. It would take a while, but the things I would see along the way. Or US 50 from Ocean City, MD to Sacramento, CA. I could see you doing either one of these trips someday, maybe.

    I got so excited to see a video from Colorado! I am a little sad that you didn't show Palisade it's SO beautiful with the Bookcliffs and Grand Mesa (which is also a beautiful drive) and one of my favorite spots and there's lots of history. Fun facts: my sister in law's family founded Palisade and my husband has relatives who live in the old Tuberculosis hospital that was there. I'm from Arvada, CO- which you drove through to get to Denver- but went to college in Grand Junction and used to stop at that gas station in Glenwood Springs on my trips home (it was a Conoco back then). One of the last conversations I had with my grandpa was about No Name and it makes me think of him every time I drive through the area but I've never been able to stop and look around. The long tunnel you went through is called the Eisenhower Tunnel and it goes through the continental divide. The Georgetown Loop is an awesome train that you can ride on and it has a tall bridge that can be fairly scary to those afraid of heights. It made me so happy seeing someone else admire Silver Plume as it's one of my favorite places here and Georgetown is just as cool and historic. Anyway, I hope Colorado treated you well and hope you want to come back!! Thanks for all of your fun videos and showing us the beautiful country we live in!! You're very much appreciated.

    Hi Adam, I live in the Glenwood Springs area. If you come through Glenwood again you can take a short hike up to Doc Holidays grave. It’s a short hike up a hill and it has a great view of Glenwood Springs.
    I always find it interesting to see a place I live through someone else’s eyes. Yeah, the down town area got a new bridge around 8 years ago. It was needed. The old bridge was very narrow and could not handle all the traffic. Have a great rest of your trip.

I grew up just on the other side of the mountain from Idaho Springs. Outside of Central City. There's a road past there off of Golden Gate Canyon road that's named after my grandfather
    Norton Drive. Any way, welcome to Colorado!

    Adam this was great. I am from a big city. I love seeing these small towns. I wish all parents would be encouraged, go out to small towns and show their city kids other parts of America.

    Thanks so much for all this Adam. I have hiked in those mountains and actually it can be quite dangerous when it comes to old mine shafts. Some are fenced off with warning signs and many aren't. The trestle coming out of the weeds might lead into a mine that would look inviting to venture into, but no way. There are groups of men who do that, but they are experienced and prepared. Mines can extend for a long ways into the mountain.. I appreciate your interest in the small towns that were bypassed by the interstate. great video.

    That flowing River reminded me of our cross country trip through Veil Colorado in May of 1985 when the snow was still on the ground barely melting away. Beautiful scenery all around. That river is one to be careful with. The old trains and mining towns were awesome. Thanks for taking us along. Great memories for me getting to spend the night & pass through Colorado. ❤️🙏🏻

    It was an old washing machine in that Post Office. Looks like one my grandmother use to have. There's a ringer on the top for squeezing the water out of the clothes before you hung them out on a clothesline to dry.

    Adam, I went to silverplum CO a few years ago. The town during the gold rush made the roads out of the non gold dirt from mines. A gemologist came by and noticed all the silver deposits in the roads. Next week or so the roads had pot holes.

    Seriously Adam your videos are just what's needed after a stressful week! We've been in Silver Plume to do the Georgetown Loop tour. It's a shame you didn't get to do it. That short train ride was one of my most favorite things to do on our vacation travels and we're from the Midwest and travel a lot. We really love your channel, and have been long time viewers. I hope you'll consider writing a book, you have seen so much of our nation!

    another great video from the grand Adam the Woo! I wish you enjoyed trains more.... some really Grand train rides, museums, and places to watch trains located in Colorado. Golden has a museum. I like the Durango to Silverton route. Well worth the expense and time! Great Depot and train barn as well. 3 or 4 train rides available not too far from Denver as well.
    In Denver, The aquarium and Zoo are both very good.

      I always think of the dry south west and the problems with the lack of water. The water east of the continental divide ends up in the Mississippi. I hope they never try and divert the water west, which some keep talking about. What a wonderful visit to these small towns, Adam.

    The Stanley Hotel is in Estes Park, Colorado where Stephen King's 1980 movie The Shining was filmed. I went there a few years back. They have a nice little tour around the inside of the hotel and even under it where you have to be in the tour to see. Check it out, shall you.....

    You are right about Silver Plume being great to use in a movie.

    Thanks so much, was hoping you would go through Colorado, I was born and raised there, will always . be in my blood even when not there. Maybe cruise through Last Chance? if it's not too late already. Yes it does exist, my Grandfather had a Cattle ranch there before that his Uncle had a Horse ranch long story obviously, SAFE TRAVELS all the way.

    Cool my husband and i took a road trip to Avon and Eagle a couple of years ago. Beautiful scenery!!! Also side note that Rio Grande Caboose is a orginal as you can get the caboose on a train was used for train crew to rest on long trips 2 engineers a switchman plus those seats ontop were for the firemen to watch for burning embers from oldtime locomotives back when you had a lumber tinder behind the locomotive and all rail cars were made of wood. Trains serviced cabooses out by the mid eighties.
