Morning fellas!!

Been there: Colorado Territorial Prison Museum

There is a lot to see in that area of Canon City. SW of there is Bishop's Castle, running north from Highway 50 east of Canon City is the Phantom Canyon Drive that takes one to Victor, CO and then Cripple Creek, and then from Cripple Creek back to Canon City is Shelf Road.

Of course, there is also the Royal Gorge itself and the train ride down through the Royal Gorge and back.

We are doing the deluxe evening dining car on the train Monday.
We went to Cottonwood pass mineral springs by Buena Vista today to soak in the 107* pools, then go down and dip in the 56* river that runs alongside the springs.
Got snow sleet and 54* air temps before going in.

you don't have to rub it in. We had temp of 104 on our patio today. But, enjoy the trip anyway. Sounds like a great trip.

We went to Canon City today and toured the prison museum. Very interesting tour.
Had a great Mexican dinner and went to a concert in Salida this evening at the outdoor amphitheater.
Great music by a husband/wife duet from NY.

I liked the prison museum. The gas chamber outside gave me weird vibes though.

Make sure to step out on the open train car once in awhile. It’s kinda neat looking up at the bridge above you… Puts a whole different perspective on the size of the gorge.

When we were there, the gas chamber was inside. That was late July of 2010.

Looks just like the one at the Territorial Prison in Rawlings Wyoming that we toured as well. The young lady in pink was the tour guide. Extremely knowledgeable, she had an answer for every question.
The little hole in the wall above the back of the chair in the last pic is where the prison Doctor ran the tube for a stethoscope that was taped to the prisoners chest so he could determine the inmate had died.
