Redstone | Colorado | American Discovery Trail Ep 158 

This one is realy beautiful . Like the terrain and views a lot , very special . Your "camping sense" is still working ! Keep it on .

Those coke ovens used to produce almost 6 million tons of coke a year back around the turn of the 20th century.

Those views you're talking about were definitely spectacular. Glad you have the footage for your future enjoyment!!

10:24 Apparently Matt went hiking with Darth Vader... Hope he got his autograph!

Awww, the sacrifices you have to make. Only one thing of Skittles!!! 😄😸

I used to live in the Evergreen, CO area and in the fall we would wake up in the middle of the night with a huge bull elk or two bugling right next to the house....just incredible.

🤣 you might have been able to get away stealthing in one of the coke ovens. 😎✌

Damn.....it never ends..thanks

Look at that blue sky

I love the wilderness views you give us but also enjoy the small-town views. It is not surprising that you get a different reception when Jen is with you, she always looks so friendly. Thanks!

Day 158. I see that you can in to Redstone from a westerly direction. Which explains why you missed the hot springs.

The scenery is certainly changing, it’s like the front range but in reverse right? Red rocks and dry grass.

You could have camped in the coke ovens, LOL

__ Nice to see the pod hotels coming into town there but they need a little maintenance.

First video without Kansas? Here's one of my favorite songs about coming through Colorado and Kansas by the Ozark Mountain Daredevils. (pull the song up on youtube). Kansas You Fooler Song by The Ozark Mountain Daredevils LyricsListen With a sky blue And a cold ground And a windmill stalled in mid-air We head across Kansas On our way home Colorado, thank you, goodbye Kansas, you fooler, You're makin' me smile 'Cause I've never seen you this way before You sure do look better When it's this way we're headed Home sure will feel good to me But I'm lookin' farther to the girl at my door With a smile I'm waitin' to see She makes me feel better The instant I'm there I forget about all of my cares I forget that I'm even there Ahhha, ahhha, ahhha, ahhha Ahhha, ahhha, ahhha, ahhha The road's OK, If you like to play Your music can let you have a good time I like to stay home And take time to grow So it all can make a pleasant cycle (Oooh, oooh, oooh, oooh

Great finding those fuel cannisters,now if you can stand all that beauty ...at least you're surrounded by the best Earth has to offer...

Outside of Redstone before Coal Creek Rd, what were the bunker looking things.

What could be better than hanging out in Redstone and listening to CSN? Very Cool!

redstone is considered zone 5. aspen trees are very pretty good to know the plants sage and scrub oak,

Such quick and drastic landscape change!

That big orange rock looks so warm sitting in the sun!

Beautiful views as usual. Thanks!
