Day 6

 June 4, 2023

This is what they call a down day, a day off. One can't do something everyday. Even when it feels like a vacation.

We thought that the tent was fixed by duct tape and we were wrong. It was completely flooded including cots and blankets. One of the sleeping bags too.

We spent a lot of time trying to fix it, put a tarp over it, dried the wet things, put the cots together put the tarp over them so we could put the sleeping bags down.

Today was a struggle getting everything packed up. But we got it done and had a wonderful breakfast at Mojo's Eatery in salida.

We decided to make the Airbnb in Breckenridge. We're biting the bullet, but it was just be an obstacle to try to think we would be camping out where there's no shower.

We're pretty tired and cranky, but we're having lunch at an elementary school where there's a playground. This town is a tourist town for sure. It's the offseason which is really interesting because it's a ski resort.

However, I'll be able to check out a couple of Mining Museums here as this was a mining town. We're just going to get a good night's rest just have this day for respite. Waiting for our home to be open at 4:00 and still have two more hours to go.

We investigated the downtown area and went to a special toy store to look around. I noticed they have a main mining Museum right in downtown. Some of the other mining" Museums" are more like tourist traps. Like one where you can pan for your own gold!

I think that there's the big difference between a museum that has a curator and is actually historical content versus someone who can just look up the history and do their own business. It's like the rilo kylie song. anyone can take their stuff and open a museum and put them on display so that everyone can see em.
