Yes, cool pic, but it is not in Colorado. The car sits in Bodie, California. Bodie is a gold ghost town just north of Mono Lake. The whole town is a state park that is kept in 'arrested decay'.

Below is the pic.

Cheers, Dean

My parents gave me a lifetime subscription for my second wedding anniversary gift (44 years ago). Strange gift.

Anyway, they still come in the mail every month. After we read them, we leave them in a Doctor's waiting room. laugh

Cheers, Dean
