re: #579 prairiefire

Hi, Walter. Yes we are. I was just going to Mapquest the directions from our condo.

Ok… then here are some suggestions. You mention doing lunch at the Buck Snort, when we drive up Elk Creek Canyon. Well, the Elk Creek Canyon part of the tour is the very last part of the tour, so basically, we would be hitting the Buck Snort around 3-4 in the afternoon. So maybe we meet somewhere else for lunch after you do Tiny Town, or I catch up with you all after you have had lunch somewhere.

Some general information, if you want to get a preview or look up some background information… the tour covers.

1) The Platte River
2) The Denver, South Park and Pacific Narrow gauge railroad bed
3) The old Platte Hotel (a stagecoach stop)
4) The Harmon burn area (see what devastation and recovery of a forest fire is like)
5) Deckers Colorado
6) The oldest operation Mercantile in Colorado
7) Pine Colorado
8) Elk Creek Canyon

And various vistas and other things to see, stop, examine, explore.

Questions.
