It's been over a month since we have watched TV and this place has cable so we try to catch up. I find I really haven't missed it that much. We discover the Mineral Belt Trail, an 11.6 mile, paved bike path that circumnavigates the town. We do the up hill part first and then cruise back down the main street.
Leadville was the first town in Colorado where gold was discovered in 1860. That soon gave out and then silver was discovered in 1880. That's what really made this a boom town. Doc Holliday came and lived here after his shoot-out at the OK Corral. This town has more museums per capita than any other city in the U.S.
