Our Lady of Guadalupe Parish in Conejos is the old Our Lady of Guadalupe Parish in Conejos is the oldest church in Colorado. It is rumored that Spanish pioneers traveling through the area were forced to come to a stop here when one of their mules refused to move, despite many attempts. During the stop, a statue of Our Lady of Guadalupe was found in one of the packs the mule was carrying. Taking it as a sign from the Virgin Mary, the pioneers vowed to build a church on this spot in her honor and as soon as the decision was made, the mule started moving again. The group returned later and constructed an adobe church at that location. French Missionary, Joseph Machebeuf, held the first mass in Colorado at Our Lady of Guadalupe in 1858. The original structure was later replaced by a larger, more permanent structure around 1860. Unfortunately, that structure burned down on Ash Wednesday in 1926. Only the walls and towers survived, but the community rebuilt on the same spot preserving the adobe towers that remained from the original church. A remodel in 1948 removed the original adobe towers due to structural issues and gave it the look it has today. Sadly, tragedy struck again on Ash Wednesday in 2016, when the church caught fire again. The damage was considerably less than the first fire, suffering mostly from smoke damage. Since repaired, the church holds mass every Sunday at 11am and is open to all visitors. #coloradohistory #roadsideamerica #slvcolorado #tinsheets

A castle built from beer cans and other scrap meta A castle built from beer cans and other scrap metal pieces, Cano’s Castle in Antonito, CO is high on the kitschy scale. Constructed by local artist and Vietnam Vet, Cano Espinoza, Cano’s Castle was created as his way of showing thanks to God for surviving the Vietnam war. He started building in 1980 and has been adding to the structure ever since; and there are now four towers that make up the castle, “The King”, “The Queen”, “The Rook”, and “The Palace”. The castle is on private property, but you can still view much of the structure from the road and if your timing is right, you might catch some of the spectacular reflections of the afternoon sun, like we did. #roadsideamerica #insearchofquirk #colorfulcolorado #tinsheets
Two years ago today we lost our first furbaby, our Two years ago today we lost our first furbaby, our company mascot, our traveling companion, our best friend. We still think about him everyday. We still miss him so much. We wish he’d been with us when we were quarantined and as we plan to hit the road again. We’re sure he checks in on us from the other side of the Rainbow Bridge, as often see his quirky behaviors in Saxby. We are blessed that we had almost nine wonderful years with him and so grateful for the memories that we can share and often do, but we still miss him. A lot. #gonebutneverforgotten #finewinecanine #rainbowbridge #tinsheets
