Colorado Vacation Part 1

Waiting for the tram to go downtown


We needed to find the star at the train station


Florence came out and gave us the information for the first clue

On May 28th we headed out to Denver for vacation. The first day we were there we headed to downtown Denver to go to Denver In*side & O*ut. We were instructed before we left that we had to go to the train station and find the star and at an exact time find the envelope and read it. We then were instructed to go meet Florence and she gave us the information we needed to get to the next place. The whole scavenger type hunt was to tell the story of the 1922 Denver Mint Robbery. Each place gave us a clue to the next and we went to several places in downtown Denver. There were also a few actors along the way to tell the story. We walked the whole way and all the kids did a great job of walking also, I bet we walked about 4 miles that morning. We then spent a little time in downtown eating, etc and then went back to the hotel to swim. The next day we went to church and then ate lunch and went to the red rocks in Denver. The next day we boarded the Amtrak train and went to Glenwood Springs.
