There’s plenty of public art in Denver, including a blue bear and this horse in a red chair (here and here, respectively). Tourists can also sneak a peak inside the Unsinkable Molly Brown’s house on Pennsylvania St.

What I didn’t get to explore, however, includes Tesla’s time in Colorado Springs, the Forney Transportation Museum, NORAD, the remains of the Jewish Consumptives’ Relief Society (apparently still findable behind a mall somewhere), and Gary Sweeney’s “America: Why I Love Her” map at the airport.

What didn’t work out because of our problems with the hotel was our drive to Barstow to see Sandee’s friend Joanne.

I don’t know much about the town, but Wikipedia told me to look out for the original Del Taco, Rainbow Basin Natural Area (site not loading now, try this instead), Calico Ghost Town, and the old Solar One solar energy generating experiment. Along the road, however, is the the World’s Tallest Thermometer, in Baker, California.
