two miles high!

here I am in a town called leadville, co. it is an old mining town.
the town is at 10,200' in elevation - that is almost two miles high!
we've gone through mountain passes that are over 11,000' high. some of
the mountain peaks you see behind me are higher than 14,000' high. we
are on top of the world! super cool!

Hey Bunny!! I'm glad you seem to be enjoying your adventures. I know I am! :)

My grandmother and her twin sister were born in Leadville, Colorado in 1896. Their father was a miner. Isn't it an interesting place?

My sister and I explored there a few years ago and had a blast, no mining pun intended.

We're from the Jersy Shore, but we loved Colorado. There were lots of liquor stores. :)
