Besides this building that was built in 1898 with the name over the front door of JD Green there's a couple houses on the other side of the S. Platte River plus a log cabin that was built buy the brother of the now owner of this grocery which she is the daughter of the past owner. Going in side is like a plast in the past to the original mail box's, no up grade at all its a real charge. This is a high celling with two stories and the stairs are behind the register which could be difficult to climp for the stuff on them. Thats my wheels. a 500cc piaggio. Fum ride.

Colorado has a new State Pk. called Stauntion which has quite a historyand the following is just starters. PINE, Colo. – The Staunton Ranch, a homestead in the early 20th century, is well on the way to fulfilling the legacy of Frances Staunton by being preserved as a place where generations to come can appreciate the area’s natural beauty as the early settlers once did. Colorado Parks and Wildlife has worked for the past ten years to honor the wishes of Staunton to create a state park for the people of Colorado, forever maintaining the stunning landscape that caused her ancestors to give up their California destination and make Colorado their home.

Staunton Ranch was originally settled by Archibald and Rachael Staunton in the early 1900s. Both doctors, they set up medical offices in Denver at the Republic Building downtown and provided care to people in the area. The Stauntons continued to acquire land well into the 1920s and built numerous cabins on the property for homesteading In the 1930s, the Staunton’s began renting out cabins so others could enjoy the property’s beautiful and serene countryside.

More info on Stauntion State Pk. Girl Scouts of Colorado and other organizations leased the cabins and mountainous spaces for summer camps beginning in 1936, which the Staunton’s promoted as the “Lazy-V Ranch.” Between the 1920s and 1940s, the Staunton’s leased a portion of their property to a logging operation, which was complete with a sawmill, cable system, and employee bunkhouse. It was the only operation of its kind within the Elk Falls and Shaffer’s Crossing region.

Remnants of five cabins, as well as the bunkhouse, shower house, and sawmill ruins, are still standing and add to the park’s rich historical assets.

Born in 1899, Frances Staunton was Archibald and Rachael’s only child. She attended East Denver High School and received her B.A. and M.A. from the University of Denver. Frances studied music and opera during her early years and in 1927, in competition with 600 other students nationally, she won one of the Julliard Foundation’s music scholarships. She appeared in local operas as an adult, with leading roles in shows like Rigoletto and Il Trovatore, and later took over management of Staunton Ranch. Frances Staunton preserved and protected the ranch throughout her life and upon her passing in 1986, she gifted the 1,720 acre property to the State of Colorado, with the understanding that the ranch would someday be developed into a state park.

I got two pieces of granite from a neighbor and had just placed them on the ground when I looked out side to see Squeeks checking them out but when I went out to get a photo his attention went to me so I had to be satisfied with this. It's the reflection of the pine trees.

As I'm walking around I came open this scene where channel 9 news I heard was talking to this woman which I though was in need on food at the Civic Center Park. Her outfit was to promote medicial marijuana. This was taken the weekend of the Colorado Pot smoke out.
