The Grand Mesa Colorado; CO Highway 65

A ride on Colorado Highway 65; from Orchard Colorado to De Beque, over the Grand Mesa. The weather was not ideal, but it was still a good ride and worth it. Perhaps I will do it again when the sun is out.

Nude climbing sculpture in downtown Silt, Colorado

Silt, Colorado is located about 280 kilometres (175 miles) west of Denver, Colorado along Interstate 70 on the west side of the Continental divide. There is no other town in the United States named Silt! This town got its name from a warning along railroad tracks that there was silt ahead! Later a town grew up in that same spot and needed a name...

Anyway, I drive by Silt on an average of about a dozen times each year, only occasionally stopping for a break or refreshment.

During the summer of 2009 Silt made national news for the unique climbing sculpture in the middle of the town roundabout. That sculpture prominently displays the naked bottom of a climber scaling a cliff - as you can plainly see in this video. After the national commotion died-down I stopped in town to see for myself and record this video.

From my point of view (so to speak!) the sculpture doesn't seem like a big deal but I hear people still hang trousers on the climber now and again! Oh, yes, my car did start out in the wrong gear in this video - it's hard to shift, drive, and video record all at the same time!

Here's my Strange page that has a still photograph of this same sculpture:
