On Thursday, Aug. 22, we drove to Florence, the antique store capital of Colorado.  Almost every store along a 2 block section was an antique store; selling everything from junk to elegant junk.  We felt like we had celebrity status as the town welcomed us with reserved parking along the main street under the trees.

You can see how patient Phil is as I did some looking in all the shops.  Actually, he was the one who found the bargain, an old horn perfect for a 1920's car.
We were back to Canon City for a tour of the old territorial prison museum where we got to see what prison life was like through the late 1800's to early 1900's.

 Elmer & Phil found the outside cells not too accommodating.

 We parked our cars in the old exercise yard.  Notice the guard tower overlooking the grounds.
Aug. 23, Friday, our last tour day, found us at the Royal Gorge Bridge.  The visitors center & surrounding buildings were burnt by a fire on June 11, 2013, so we were not able to cross the bridge but did get to hike where we could see it.

 That's Elmer in the yellow shirt and you can see the train tracks that we were on earlier when we rode the train through the Gorge.

 We also went on the Skyline Drive on our way back to town.

More fun shopping!  "Stinky", "Foxy Lady", and "Bucky".
Tonight was our final banquet and farewell after a terrific week of touring in our Chevys.  This is our Utah group with our national club president, Dave Miner from Ohio.  We were honored to have Dave ride with us in the rumble seat of the Cabriolet for our first tour day.

Headed back home bright & early in the morning.  :(
