Exploring Salida

Salida is a popular town in the southwest part of Colorado.  We stayed in an RV park in nearby Howard--a mistake--but we enjoyed visiting Salida where we did our daily walks, as well as grocery shopping and laundry.  There are a lot of really attractive restored buildings in the downtown area.

We also saw some curious--or odd--sights in town.

Monarch Ski Area is nearby and old skis have been used in creative ways.

I have no idea what this is up on a pole.

This care was unusual, to say the least.

Making this wooden bicycle would have been a lot of work--and creative.

The Arkansas River runs through town. We walked along the River Trail and we saw rafters and kayakers.
