Great Idea

While traveling highway 114 in northern Colorado today, I discovered this little cabin sitting among the Aspen Trees. It was so old yet so beautiful I could not resist walking into it for some photos. Age is unknown, suppose some old gold miner, trapper, or outlaw gang once lived here. A history we will never know. The door was open, so I went inside. This particular concept would work well for those that have cabins at the "Hole In The Wall" if you wanted to build a fireplace, just cut a hole in the wall and install the fireplace, no need for an interior chimney.

The roof is caving in, rafters have fallen and in a few years the cabin will be gone.

Opportunity

If anyone knows of anyone that is traveling the highways with a truck and has the capacity to carry a 20 foot extension ladder this quaint little bell is available and would surely ring loud and clear at the HITW. Location is on the west city limit of Leadville, Colorado. It is located on the right side of the road when you are east bound on Colorado Highway 24. Wide shoulders on the side of highway or can drive off the road onto the property, although no driveway installed. Small fence around it, however, deteriorated over the years and easily accessible. Did not do an alloy test to detrmine if it is brass or cast metal.

Might get a package deal if we also take the little school out back.

Employment Opportunity

Had to stop and do a little banking this morning so I stopped by the first Wells Fargo Bank that I could find. It was located in Virgina City, Montana. Must have been a hell of a horse ride, if you recall the olden days of good television, Pa and the Cartwright boys from Bozana. Their ranch was just above Lake Tahoe in Nevada. They were always going into town, Virginia City, to shop or conduct other business. Virginia City is a 1,000 miles from the Bonanza Ranch.

Inside the bank was a large sign, "WANTED: New Manager", in the small print the person must be experienced in all facets of the banking industry and personnel managment. They must be currently employed with Wells Fargo. The bank will provide housing and will reimburse all moving costs. If any of you know anyone that might be qualified to fill this position, it may be a great career move. A beautiful little town, of which I took a few pictures. Virginia City, Montana was founded in 1865 and remains a triving community.

"The California Store" which is a merchantile store is located next to the bank.

The other major benefit of the bank, one of the three cashiers told me that she and the other two girls also moonlighted just down the street on rotating nights and if the new Manager was female and knew how to dance, they would make sure that she was hired at the favorite night spot in town.
