Late Day 4: Arrival in Villa Grove (Population 51) - June 2002
 |
After a long day of biking in the
San Luis Valley, I was so happy to arrive in the small town of Villa Grove. I stayed at a well-known art school named The Escuela. |
 |
It is a very tiny town - formerly a trading place during the gold rush in nearby Bonanza over 100 years ago! |
 |
The folks I stayed with had llamas in their backyard! :) |
 |
Looking north, I look forward with anticipation and dread knowing I would bike up Poncha Pass the next morning! Granted, it's not the toughest pass, but anything uphill is a curse from the enemy! |
 |
The Sangre de Cristo Range stands proudly to the east! |
 |
I ate at this small restaurant. The food was yummy! |
 |
A zoom-in of one of those cute llamas! :) |
 |
Then I zoomed in on the mountains! |
 |
Then I zoomed all the way OUT! |
 |
The sky just looked awesome! |
 |
One last shot of those mountains. |
 |
What a town! They even have a post office! :)
