Denver, the capital of Colorado, is an American metropolis dating to the Old West era. Larimer Square, the city’s oldest block, features landmark 19th-century buildings. Museums include the Denver Art Museum, an ultramodern complex known for its collection of indigenous works, and the mansion of famed Titanic survivor Molly Brown. Denver is also a jumping-off point for ski resorts in the nearby Rocky Mountains.
Denver is a vibrant city with plenty of attractions for visitors, plus a diverse collection of neighborhoods that can be attractions in themselves. Many of Denver's older areas are the perfect density for exploration; you'll find an interesting mix of apartments and homes with flowery front gardens, wide flagstone sidewalks, bright green lawns and big, shady trees. Capitol Hill, Highlands, Baker, Berkeley, Uptown, Sloan's Lake, Cheesman, Washington, City and Congress Parks are just some of the neighborhoods bustling with people and places to see.
Denver has many beautiful parks that are full of colorful gardens, meandering paths, crystal clear lakes, abundant wildlife and recreation opportunities. The city has a rich pioneer history, and there are plenty of museums where you can learn all about it. It's also a very environmentally conscious city, with one of the nation’s first municipal “Green Fleets”, public transit vehicles using hybrid and alternative fuel and a city tree-planting initiative. Hop on a green bus, grab a bike or just walk around to discover Denver.
Thanks to a re-urbanization of the city's central core, Denver now has name-worthy neighborhoods with flavors that are all their own – River North (RiNo) for hipster bars and eye-catching street art, Lower Highlands (LoHi) and South Broadway for great eateries and live music, Cherry Creek for glam, Lower Downtown (LoDo) for upscale restaurants and cocktail lounges as well as the Golden Triangle and Santa Fe for arts, theater and museums. In all, there's a neighborhood and a vibe for just about anybody.

Is this Jack Dempsey's house? Look what we found while we were screwing around
In the early 1970's I met a woman who claimed this house in Salt Lake City Utah was Jack Dempseys house, What do you think?
She had all his championship boxing gloves. The house was a shrine to him. It's a real mystery, but lots of facts do fit.
One thought that does seem to fit is that he may have built the house for his parents in the early 1920s when he hit it big. And one of his daughters was living there in 1970 and he would also stay there from time to time.
From Wikipedia:
William Harrison Jack Dempsey (June 24, 1895 – May 31, 1983), nicknamed Kid Blackie, and The Manassa Mauler, was an American professional boxer who competed from 1914 to 1927, and reigned as the world heavyweight champion from 1919 to 1926. A cultural icon of the 1920s,[1] Dempsey's aggressive fighting style and exceptional punching power made him one of the most popular boxers in history.[2][3] Many of his fights set financial and attendance records, including the first million-dollar gate,[4] and pioneered the live broadcast of sporting events in general, and boxing matches in particular.
Dempsey is ranked tenth on The Ring magazine's list of all-time heavyweights and seventh among its Top 100 Greatest Punchers, while in 1950 the Associated Press voted him as the greatest fighter of the past 50 years.[5] He is a member of the International Boxing Hall of Fame, and was in the previous Boxing Hall of Fame.[2]
Born William Harrison Dempsey in Manassa, Colorado, he grew up in a poor family in Colorado, West Virginia, and Utah.[A][6] The son of Mary Celia (née Smoot) and Hiram Dempsey, his family's lineage consisted of Irish and Cherokee ancestry.[7][8][9] Following his parents' conversion to The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints,[10] Dempsey was baptized into the Church in 1903 following his 8th birthday, the age of accountability, according to church doctrine.[11] Because his father had difficulty finding work, the family traveled often and Dempsey dropped out of elementary school to work and left home at the age of 16. Due to his lack of money, he frequently traveled underneath trains and slept in hobo camps.[12]
Desperate for money, Dempsey would occasionally visit saloons and challenge for fights, saying I can't sing and I can't dance, but I can lick any SOB in the house. If anyone accepted the challenge, bets would be made. According to Dempsey's autobiography, he rarely lost these barroom brawls.[13] For a short time, Dempsey was a part-time bodyguard for Thomas F. Kearns, president of The Salt Lake Tribune and son of Utah's U.S. Senator Thomas Kearns.[14]
Dempsey often fought under the pseudonym, Kid Blackie, although during his stint in the Salt Lake City area, he went by Young Dempsey.[15] Much of his early career is not recorded, and stated thus, in The Ring Record Book as compiled by Nat Fleischer. He first competed as Jack Dempsey (by his own recollection) in the fall of 1914, in Cripple Creek, Colorado. His brother, Bernie, who often fought under the pseudonym, Jack Dempsey—this a common practice of the day, in fighters' admiration of middleweight boxer and former champion, Jack Nonpareil Dempsey—had signed to fight veteran George Copelin.

Return to Chief Rolling Thunder Mountain's amazing house
On I80 at Imlay, you pass an amazing, well, house? Sculpture? Museum? Well, all of those. It's the home of Chief Rolling Thunder Mountain.
As we head to the 2019 Narrow Gauge Convention a quick stop at Chief Rolling Thunder Mountains house. We were here a few years ago, but just to catch up. On our last stop we gave you the history, today just a revisit to see any changes, and just to enyoy the place.
From the web:
The Thunder Mountain Monument is a series of outsider art sculptures and architectural forms that were assembled by Frank Van Zant starting in 1969 upon his arrival in Imlay, Nevada; it is located on a shoulder of I-80.
A World War II veteran from Oklahoma, Frank Van Zant had served with the 7th Armoured Division, fought in several campaigns in Europe and been badly burned in a tank battle outside Leipzig. Born on an Indian Reservation in Okmulgee, Oklahoma, on November 11, 1921, he was the son of Sydney Grove Van Zant and grandson of Alexander Grove Van Zant and due to his upbringing he identified himself as Creek Indian, although his father became disenchanted with the sovereignty of the Creek Nation and became an individual he took the Native American name Rolling Mountain Thunder after experiencing an epiphany. He took on the twin but related tasks of both building shelters from the presumed coming apocalypse, and making a de facto spiritual haven for spiritual seekers of the hippie era. (There is no Thunder Mountain in the vicinity.)
The site covers five acres on the south side of a 1,000-foot stretch of Interstate 80. There were originally seven buildings, including a three-story hostel where many hippies stayed in the 1970s. Three stone and concrete buildings remain, and more than 200 concrete sculptures depicting Native Americans and their protective spirits, massacres, and injustices against them. Thunder Mountain Monument (or Park) is replete with found objects, such as car hoods, dolls' heads, typewriters, and gas pumps, many of which are incorporated into the buildings themselves; the third floor has one wall made up of antique bottles which form a stained glass window of a different sort; other floors have windows from antique windshields and bottles incorporated therein to provide a lighting source; one framework forms a large handle so the Great Spirit could take the building away after Thunder's death.
The site was partially destroyed by arson in 1983, the same year Van Zant was named Nevada's Artist of the Year; he committed suicide by shooting himself in the head in 1989. The monument was neglected and subject to vandalism until it was declared a Nevada State Historic Site in 1992; it is now under the care of his grown children under the aegis of a State of Nevada Historic Site Restoration Project and is partially open to the public for self-guided tours. Van Zant has been the subject of two short documentaries.

Antique amphibious air and water cars at the Forney Transportation Museum
Strange old cars at the Forney Transportation Museum in Denver, Colorado! One is a Martin Amphibious Air Car (MI-C85 c/n 10257, N7602B,) and the other is a German built Amphicar - models of which were manufactured from 1961 to 1968 by Amphicar of Berlin. Designed by German inventor Hans Trippel, it was the world's only mass-produced passenger amphibious vehicle designed for every day use.
Although a dozen different models had been produced for various military organizations, Trippel's design was made for the average driver. Total production was 3,878 Amphicars, 3,046 of which were imported into the United States between 1961 and 1967. The Amphicar is rear engined and uses a 4 cylinder British-built Triumph Herald motor producing 43 horsepower. All Amphicars were convertibles which originally offered in only four colors (Beach White, Regatta Red, Lagoon Blue and Fjord Green/Aqua).
