Rico, Colorado

In 1833, Antoine Robidoux and a group of trappers searched for beaver along the upper Dolores River. While here, they discovered evidence that Spanish Prospectors had previously processed precious metals in the area. The trappers, however, moved on when they did not find any substantial deposits of gold or silver.

    We've been to a couple of ghost towns here, and some remains of the Overland Trail Stations. Very interesting stuff to see.

    I've searched for a lot of beaver and it always cost me something....

    The Dolores River has some very cool canyons along its path--the Unaweep-Tabeguache scenic byway is a beautiful drive in far western Colorado. The river runs into Utah NW of Gateway, CO, eventually dumping into the Colorado River.

    Firemen pulling a hose pump. They did not need to go to the gym in those days.
    My God, could any of us be that tough?
