About this blog:
We love traveling. We always capture tons of pictures from wherever we've been and we like sharing our traveling experiences with our friends. So, this is how this blog began - as short stories with pictures in an attempt to share where we've been and what we've seen. Even not stories , but just notes. Nothing serious and big. Mostly I'm writing these stories on a rush and sometimes even don't have time to re-read them. So, I apologize in advance for possible typos here and there. There can be some factual errors or inaccuracies and they even might be corrected one day. Don't hesitate to contact me if you find something that needs to be fixed and don't expect these notes to be a perfect novels ;) The stories in this blog are not in chronological order, but I will try to remember to put the date of the trip. So... welcome to this blog and, hopefully, you will find something interesting and have the same feeling we had when we were there. Let's go...
And... by the way... all pictures and texts in this blog are protected by International and USA Copyright laws, so if you'd like to repost or use something on your page - contact me first.
Using anything published here without permission is violation of the law and... it isn't really nice...

Not time travel ;(

I know, I know... time machine does not really exist. But, are you sure? Cuz I guess I know where to find if not a time machine but at least a time traveling trip. And it's not as far away as you might think. If you drive up on highway 70 soon you pass by two small towns close to each other - Georgetown and Silver Plum. They are both old... more than 150 years old and have a rich history. And this history is related to silver mines, many of them that can be found between these two towns. The towns are just two miles apart and this is not a problem. The problem is Silver Plum is 600 feet higher. And many miners were living there but working at the mines in between and they needed to get there and also the rocks from the mines needed to be delivered to the enrichment factories... And the only way to do it was to build a railway. A looong one. So they did it! And it is working now and even has one station...
