Golden, ColoradoJune 16th and 17th 2006 has us in Golden, Colorado (just west of Denver). We are in Clear Creek City Park N39° 45.197' W105° 13.193'. The campground is located on the south side of 10th street at the end of the road. Clear Creek City Campground is one of the nicest (location wise) campgrounds you can stay in (our opinion). located on Clear Creek 3-blocks from downtown Golden. They have paved interior roads with small backin sites (mature trees are so wonderful); 50-amps, water and sewer, $28.91 per-night 303-278-1437. There is a 2-week max stay before you have to leave the park and they do not take reservations. Historic Cobbleston Building in Golden Colorado: The Armory Building
This cobblestone building in downtown Golden is known as the "armory-building". It was constructed in 1913 and is purported to be the largest cobblestone in the US. The walls are 3-feet thick. It remains a good looking building today.
Historic Cottonwood Tree in Vanover Park, Golden Colorado
We found this giant cottonwood tree in Vanover Park about 4-blocks from Clear Creek RV park at the intersection of Ford and Water street on Cold Creek. The folks at the visitor center said that long ago someone was hung from that cottonwood tree and locally it is know as the hanging tree.
Raspberries along Clear Creek Golden, Colorado
Joyce took these pictures of wild raspberries while on a walk along the Creek. They look so much like blackberries we are familiar with back in the southeast.

Joyce took this picture of Table Mountain that sits between Denver and Golden as the sun was about to drop behind the Rocky Mountains to the west. While the sun was shining brightly on the hard caprock of Table Mountain in this picture a few minutes later it was dark.
