I decided to take a drive up to Ridgeway today to start the new year off with a hike in the mountains. A kind passerby just happened to mention…’You’re so close to town. Don’t miss the True Grit Cafe!’
So, as is customary, I ALWAYS follow the recommendations of the locals! I had NO IDEA that this was the very town True Grit was filmed! The original. Way back in 1969 , with the maestro of westerns…JOHN WAYNE!
They are telling me I am sitting next to the original wall of the saloon, and across the street, the tree where a hanging took place. Can’t remember whose, but hopefully not John Wayne’s😳. (Never saw True Grit!)
But before the cafe, some scenes from the railroad 
Colorado has not yet once failed to disappoint. I am so grateful to be able to explore this beautiful state! I can’t wait to see what the year ahead will bring. So far, it is off to an amazing start! 🙏💕🤗
