July 10 - Leadville (Hint: has the best Safeway for dumpster diving!)

There is not much to tell in this posting. Leadville was just an exceptionally cute town on our route. We stopped at a huge antique store for a while and wondered how a dirty glass bottle can be worth $800.



Before entering the Safeway to get more food we checked the dumpsters out back and found a heap of treasures. Tons of eggs, chips, cookies, a chocolate cake (not in pic), loads of delicious bread, butter and yogurt drinks.
What a feast we had later on in our tent right across the highway from the world's largest Molybdenum mine. You wont believe it by looking at the photo but we camped at 3200 m elevation. The southern latitudes allow trees to grow at much higher elevations than back in Canada. At least that is my explanation for all these +3000m forests here in Colorado.
