I’m handcuffed to a pipe, Johnny is going to help free me but can’t find a key. He’ll just have to use an axe he found. Find out what will happen next, tomorrow or another day.

Champagne Bubbles and Popcorn Delights

Hello, It’s me the Funny One. Me and my sister watched Sylvester Stallone movies today. We watched Rocky, Rocky 2 and the Expendables. He really is talented. Rocky Balboa is a really likeable character. I really need to get a job in a pet shop! I’m going to have to watch the rest of the Rocky movies soon.

Today’s state is Colorado. The picture is of me in a hot air balloon, I’m not alone in it as you can see. Hehehehe. The hot air balloon rides take place in the morning, and you can see some of the most wonderful views of Colorado. There’s even a post-flight champagne toast. Mmmmm champagne. Who doesn’t like champagne?

The Buffalo Bill Museum and Grave – the museum has exhibits that focus on the life, times and legacy of William “Buffalo Bill” Cody, telling the story of Buffalo Bill and how his legacy developed. Don’t forget to go to the gift shop for some souvenirs. They have mugs, t-shirts and other stuff. There’s also a cafe. They have homemade fudge. Mmmmm homemade fudge.

The Denver Firefighters Museum  has been housed in the original Firehouse Number 1 ever since 1909. go there and  explore over a century of historical artifacts, fascinating exhibits in  the Museum!

There’s the One Hundred Gold Mine Tour. In 1872, the three Neigold brothers arrived from Germany and staked their claim on the “Number Seven” vein. Reinhard, Gustave, and Otto Neigold then spent the next 30 years prospecting and developing the veins on Galena Mountain. Either before or after the tour, you can pan for real silver, gold and semi-precious gemstones in the sluice boxes outside the mine. And the best bit is that you get to keep what you find!

There’s the Molly Brown House Museum, the home of Titanic survivor Margaret Tobin Brown. It’s one of only a few history organizations in Denver that provides both on-site and off-site educational programming. Included in the guided tours of Margaret “Molly” Brown’s home is an environmental theater program that brings Victorian literature to life, and etiquette teas that lets us know about the cultural customs of the Victorian era. The Off-site traveling programs will include mining, the industrial revolution, the science of restoration, and civic activism.

The Colorado Railroad Museum. Did you know that the main museum building was completed in 1959 and resembles an 1880-era small town railroad depot. The Depot Museum has thousands of rare photographs, artifacts and documents illustrating the colorful history of the railroads which have served Colorado for over 125 years.

Eagle Eye

Hello, I’m back, yet again. Today’s state is Nevada.  I drew the picture on a new red table and I got crayon all over it. Mom was annoyed with me. But it has been cleaned now.

The picture is of me in the movie “Viva Las Vegas.” What is there to do in Nevada apart from gambling and losing all your money? There’s the Bonnie Springs Ranch, It’s the home of Old Nevada Western Town and the Red Rock Riding Stables. It’s the best in Wild West food, fun and entertainment. You could go on the Cowboy Trail Rides. There are miles of riding trails in a magnificent desert setting, a herd of well-trained horses, and a staff of professional wrangler-guides. The Red Rock Ranch welcomes guests who want to leave the city and the 21st Century behind.

The Ward Charcoal Ovens State Historic Park is also worth a look. The Charcoal Ovens are associated with the silver mining ghost town of Ward in Nevada. The charcoal ovens are two miles south of the townsite. The ovens were built in 1876 by itinerant Italian masons who specialized in the ovens. They were known as Carbonari. The charcoal ovens prepared charcoal from locally harvested timber for use in the smelters at Ward, using a lot of bushels of charcoal a day.

The Valley of Fire state park is a fun site to visit. You can take part in popular activities including camping, hiking, picnicking and photography and it is open all year! Sweet!

Why not visit the Grand Canyon? Go on the Grand Canyon Skywalk. It’s a glass bridge that is  suspended 4,000 feet over the Grand Canyon. To the left of it is the Colorado River and to the right is the silhouette of an eagle carved out in Grand Canyon wall. Take the walk and feel like an eagle as it flies through the canyon.  Take the walk on the Grand Canyon Skywalk if you’re brave enough!  If that’s too scary, you could just get a helicopter flight over it.

There are a few museums to visit, including The Nevada State Railroad Museum that preserves the railroad heritage of Nevada, including locomotives and cars of the famous Virginia & Truckee Railroad and other railroads of the Silver State. Many of them were bought from Hollywood studios where they were made famous in movies and television shows. Among 65 locomotives and cars in the collection, 40 of them were built before 1900, and 31 pieces that operated on the V & T Railroad. The Atomic Testing Museum is another intriguing place. There is an exhibit about Area 51. Area 51: Myth or Reality. Learn about the most secret place in all America. The first ever exhibit on Area 51 is being developed with the help of the very people who actually worked there. The exhibit will explore the real truth, the real programs and address the secrecy that surrounds the base at Groom Lake.  Ok, I’ll leave it there for now.

Ok, today’s state is Montana. In the pic, I’m at the Last Chance Tours which is home of the Last Chance Tour Trains and Trolley. It looks great! http://www.lctours.com/ There’s also the Last Chance Ranch. Ooooh, you can also have a wagon ride dinner. Mmmmmm wagon ride dinner. http://lastchanceranch.biz/

What about museums in Montana? There’s the World Museum of Mining. For the first time in the history of Butte, those who lost their lives in a mining, mill/smelter, concentrator, or railroad accident are now memorialized there at the World Museum of Mining. Four memorial walls have been constructed of polished black granite slabs, are sand-blasted with the names of over 2,500 men that lost their lives in the Silver Bow Mining District since 1865.

Another interesting place is The Mineral Museum, which, as you can kinda guess by the title, has lost of minerals. They wouldn’t notice if one went missing, would they? Another cool place to check out is The Historical Museum at Fort Missoula They have over 600 WWII posters available. Check out their website http://www.fortmissoulamuseum.org/ The Museum of the Rockies is home to one of the biggest and most important dinosaur collections in the world.

If you love wild animals then these places might be of interest: The Montana Grizzly Encounter is a Rescue & Education for Grizzly Bears center. It was Founded in 2004 and provides a spacious and natural home for rescued grizzlies. The Grizzly & Wolf Discovery Center ” is home to 8 wolves that live in two different packs and it’s also home to grizzly bears from as far away as Alaska and as close as Yellowstone National Park. In Gates Of The Mountains, you will see many birds and animals.”

Oh, there is also a Blue Jewel Mine. It operates from mid-April through the first freeze of the season. The Blue Jewel Mine is a great place to spend an afternoon mining for sapphires and gold. I wouldn’t say no to having some free sapphires!!

As I love candy, I couldn’t not mention where you can buy some – The Montana Candy Emporium!! They even sell Jelly Belly. Mmmmmm Jelly Belly.
