The Adventures of Scotty (and Rico)

We had fun in Rico and surrounding areas over the weekend. The whole family went and we had a blast staying together. Here are a few pictures of our trip. Rico is high in the Rocky Mountains of Colorado and is as dead a mining town as an almost-dead town can be. But it is BEAUTIFUL up there. It was a bit chilly and rained a little, but it was gorgeous and we had fun. To see all my pictures, click here.

We also thought it would be fun to make a photo diary of Scotty, the much sought after and fought for relic of the old Rico house. You can click here to see The Adventures of Scotty. We had way too much fun with him, despite the fact that he weighs a ton.

Enjoy!

Rico Main Street and not much else.

We found this tree while driving around town. We thought it was hilarious!

The Atlantic cable mill...or something like that.

Waiting for the elk up by Lizard's Head. It was freezing, but beautiful.
