Neat pictures I've taken

A great use of some very awesome rock formations.

It would be interesting to find out the story behind those inclusions. Stuff the masons had collected over the years? Contributions from the community? Planned acquisitions?

There's a couple of historical markers in that park, one dealing with the founders of the town (and the men who gave the land for the park), and one honoring the surveyors who have surveyed this country over the years, an inordinate number of whom came from Eldorado Springs for some reason.

Nary a word on the history of the bandstand, which, to my thinking, would have been far more interesting.

Built in the early 30s? Then there is a few left that might remember the story behind it, but you'd have to find them fast.

I actually found a history of the town online, but they just go on about the town band, which has been in continuous existence for over 100 years, now. They mention the bandstand being built, and that it was the third of its kind, and built in 1938...but nary a word about how unique it is.

From my camping/skiing trip to Dale Hollow in Tennessee.

Some of the skiing part ...the boys did all the skiing.

And they did a lot of this too...at least the scenery was really nice.

I actually woke up early enough one morning to take sunrise pictures.
