Son Tai took me seriously when I said I wanted to go by the river (Animas River).
The Emma Sweeny is another reason for the park by the river.
Horse sculptures, with riders. I kind of thought they had wings at first.
This is a take out point for some of the rafting outfits, where they pick up passengers and rafts on busses to take them back to their starting point.

Life becomes much more interesting once we let go of our quest for perfection and aspire for imperfection instead.
I aspire for imperfection all the time, LOL!
ReplyDeleteIt can happen at any time! Boom, and another opportunity missed and just a bit lopsided!
DeleteThat looked like a fun outing. I bet you'll go back sometime.
ReplyDeleteYes indeed. Easy to get there, and the shadow of that mesa/ridge is what makes my sunrise about a half hour after the actual one. I also need to go see some of the college buildings, they were kind of invisible when we drove through campus that day...bright sunlight behind them.
DeleteI don't have much choice about imperfection!
ReplyDeleteIt sure is everywhere, yet somehow we can sometimes see perfect beauty!
DeleteSo when did you book a raft trip?
ReplyDeleteI've been on 2 white water trips in my day...probably my late 50s - on the Ocoee River in Tennessee, before it was transformed for a white water course for the Olympics.
DeleteThat looks like an interesting place to visit. I like the locos.
ReplyDeleteA very interesting history of that train, and well presented.
DeleteHello Barb,
ReplyDeleteLooks like a fun outing, I like the trains and the horse sculptures. Your header photo with the pretty trees is lovely. Take care, enjoy your day!
The header photo is from the internet. I hope to soon go into the mountains and take some photos myself.
DeleteThat looks like a place my husband would love to visit. The train is so interesting.
ReplyDeleteIt certainly has an interesting history.
DeleteThat's a great little locomotive!
ReplyDeleteI'm glad that they made a park with it as a focal point.
