Had some fun connections with the Argentine Central Line during this days walk. The ticket office for the Argentine Central was located in this building off 17th and Wynkoop. One could hope on a Colorado and Southern Train (C&S) and after a ride on the famed “Loop”, end up at the end of the line for the Argentine Central at Mt. McClellan- 14,007ft.

Here is a pic of my pal Travis (@honeybadger) and I at the end of the line for the Argentine Central, off the Argentine Pass Road for reference (summer 2018). The second owners of the Argentine Central even went as far as to propose an extension (they got as far as a survey) of the line to the summit of Gray’s Peak (14,278ft), where a grand hotel and spotlight would be built- one could watch the sunset and sunrise from the summit and be back to Denver in time for work.

Took a walk up to Wash Park for a change of scenery ( my friend and I practiced proper social distancing).

The Capital Building a bit quieter this weekend.

Was really surprised to see so many people out- doing the exact things that they were asked not to do.

We watched these guys for a bit.

Tulips still in bloom.

Couldn’t ask for a nicer Saturday.
