The place is for sale at $250,000 or so. Maybe someone here will buy it and improve the food. Had some nasty assed food in that place.
 
Then back up to Ouray - just an excuse to ride 555 again. I reserved rooms at the Ouray Chalet Inn for us but the wife wanted to stay at a more historically significant and cozy hotel. 1850's stylee..

So I got to pay for two hotel rooms for the night. Lovely.
 
Fuck it. Time to get the beers in. Off to the OPuray Brewing Co across the street from the hotel...

We're heading for Black Hawk, just west of Denver for tonight. But it can't be done on an empty stomach, so we hit this odd bar out in the middle of nowhere for lunch. Decent grub...

The next day and Neil and I are up and outta there early - we have 1,200 miles to do in the next 24 hours as we have to be at work on Monday morning.
Mike stays behind and rides around a bit more as he didn't have to get back for his flight until Wednesday. Hopefully he hasd some more pics.

We stopped in Nebraska someplace for the last pic of the trip for me...
