CENTRAL COLORADO, LEADVILLE

It's 44 degrees this morning but we don't complain knowing how hot it is in Virginia.  In Leadville we tour Harrison Avenue (main street).  At over 10,200 feet it is the highest incorporated town in America so the air is really thin making it hard to breath.  It sits in the shadow of Mt. Massive (14,421ft), the second highest peak in Colorado.

After Peggy picks up her mountain bike, we have our daily  afternoon rain shower.  We take a site at the RV Corral on the edge of town.  We will stay here three nights.
