Today we visited "Bishop's Castle" - a very strange rambling structure up in the mountains SW of Pueblo. Here's what was written by one person about it:

 You owe it to yourself to see this castle first-hand in your lifetime! Bishop's Castle was built by one man over the course of 42 years and he is still working on building more! It has 3 tall towers (all of which you can climb stairs to the top and look out), a magnificently huge glass ballroom, a fire-breathing dragon, a bell that you can ring, flying buttresses, stained glass windows and a mind-blowing amount of iron and stonework. As I said, do yourself a favor and go out of your way to see one of the last truly free, hand-built wonders of America.


He is there most days visiting with the visitors! He is somewhat of a political radical, and loves an audience, so I was told to be careful about talking to him! There is much, much more to the structure than you can see in these pictures.
