Central City, CO and "Oh My God" highway
We did take a couple of tourist breaks while awaiting RV repairs in the Denver area. The historic gold mining town, Central City, boasts many beautiful, historic buildings; mining lore; ghost stories, and most recently; all of the casino action you could ever desire.
The Temple building is home to "The Face on the Bar Room Floor" (picture 1) inspired by a poem of the same name. It was painted by a local artist in the 1930s.
Picture 2, Lynette on Central City's main street.
Picture 3 is an active gold mine viewed from "Oh My God" highway, between Central City and Idaho Springs, CO. We were told that many of the gold mines have been reactivated when the price of gold reached $600/ounce.
Picture 4 is the view downward from "Oh My God" highway. The road is narrow gravel with fear inspiring drop offs and awe inspiring views.
