The wife found out about this somewhere and decided that today would be a good day to hop and the bikes and go check it out.

its pretty neat, the fam and I go at least 1-2 times a year, watch for loose gravel in the corners if you are on a bike. ETA: the guy built it all by hand and all by himself through donations, and his decorative iron business.
That looks really neat! One of these days maybe the wife and I can take some mountain trips when she doesn't have to work on the weekends. :(
.......you said "bikes" Ray, does she have a bike as well?
That is a good drive from Denver for a day trip. Have a safe drive and take lots o pics!
its a really neat place. The guy that owns it is strange duck, but worth the drive for sure.
Hiway 67 is closed due to bridge failure...5 miles south of Florence!

Have a great ride today man. The weather is beautiful. I will have to visit this castle and slay some orcs on the way.
Thanks for the heads-up. [Awesom]Quote:

Ask him about his dad helping him build the castle.
That's not right man. Don't do it!Quote:

Because his father did not help him and he'll more than let you know that.Quote:

Yep. She rides her own. She's pretty bad ass for a chick. She rides a Sportster. We went just over 360 miles today. No way I would survive that kind of ride on a Sportster.Quote:

There's our bikes. You can see them parked across the highway.

Here are a couple of shots of the outside, including the dragon.

Here's the only shot I thought to take of the inside.

Here's my wife at the end of a bridge. The castle is still a work in progress. I assume the bridge may end up going somewhere some day.

And here is a sign that tells you a little something about the owner/builder. I'm guessing he won't be voting for Obama or Romney this November.
