I was watching this through my fingers… was 100% expecting a mountain rescue episode after seeing that path! 😮 Such a lovely looking town. Classic old American buildings. Shame for you that the brewery was shut. Absolutely stunning scenery.
Thank you so much! I've seen a few recent pictures posted by Ouray Brewery on Facebook. They've had to close (again!) a few days to save staff taking risks getting in. As beautiful as places like this are, I can imagine the challenges citizens face.
That's my kind of nature ramble, and yes, I've invented paths and trails as well, much to the distain of HM the Wife. I got stuck in a small place on Ohio once and the natives were amazingly friendly and helpful. Seems like you found the same.
Ohh, the lady at my hotel said "Whaaat? You're not visiting the hot springs???" The thing is, every day I was on a tight schedule. I'd typically get to my hotel, freshen up, get out to dinner, back to hotel and backup footage from the day, sleep. Then next morning, up, breakfast, and off on the next day's mission. So sadly, I just didn't have time. I wanted to do the walk up Cascade Falls, and that's all I had time for. So I'll have to say...... Next time 🤞
One of the nearby places I watch trains has a piles of old spikes laying around near the tracks. Perhaps I should make some coat racks! Is this the trail that upset your mom? Great video Simon. 😊
Oh yeah, any spare spikes will make nice feature items. Yep, I put a little bit of this on Facebook on the day and she was horrified 🤣 This full version looks so much worse 🙈 Thanks Terry!
Fun fact: the Million Dollar Highway is absolutely gorgeous to drive along, but it is unknown whether "Million Dollar" refers to the value of the scenery, the cost to build the road, the amount of life insurance you should have if you try to drive it, or the amount of fine that should have been leveled against Otto Mears for thinking it was a good idea to put a road there!
Hmmm... yes. I've heard that's how much it cost to build per mile, but yes there are a number of ideas. As nice as it may be, I wasn't going to pay a million dollars to drive it 😂
Hello Simon, a fantastic landscape and a wonderful waterfall with a great view, all in your tenth episode on the journey through Colorado. An excellent video, thank you for showing it and best regards Wolfgang. Another little video, a ride on my garden railway: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-OYjJU-IEEoQ.html
Hi Wolfgang. Thank you. It is so beautiful, and I'm glad you enjoyed my video. Thanks for the link to your video also. I have watched, liked and commented 😉 Have a great weekend! Simon
As a Colorado native we always pronounced it You-Ray, fun to see what others do. Though it's not near as confusing to pronounce as Saguache (Suh-Watch) in the San Luis Valley. That one always tripped up new weathermen. Did you go up the tight canyon path between the rocks?
Oh interesting! I've mostly heard it pronounced closer to "Ooh-ray", but near the time I was there I heard a few say "You-ray", so that what I mostly said when I was there, (see episode 7 when it's my destination from Grand Junction) and then afterwards I'm back saying "Ooh-ray". So you get both with me 😂 I would never have guessed that pronunciation for "Saguache". Another one is "Raton". I have a model locomotive with the name, and I'd never have thought of how people actually pronounce it. I have a video on that 🤣 I was on a tight schedule so I didn't manage to looked down the canyon, sadly. I'll have to visit again! Thanks for you comment!
