Hanging Flume Event

I know you've stayed up late at night wondering about Hanging Flume's. Well, you've come to the right place! We had the DVD premiere event last weekend for "Hanging Flume: The Best Kept Secret of the Wild West" last weekend at Gateway Canyons Resort, and you, too, may know more than you ever thought possible about the Hanging Flume.

The Hanging Flume precariously perched above the Delores River near Gateway, Colo.

In all seriousness, it is quite the marvel, and you can learn more about this piece of Colorado gold mining history at www.hangingflume.org. And you can even by the DVD while you're there.

The center for all the action: Palisade Event Center, Gateway Canyons Resort

We had the premiere event for those involved in helping preserve this little-known piece of Colorado history, and they had a wonderful time.

A mountain man from the late 19th century stopped
by to tell us about the building of the Flume.

Valerie, Cat and I waiting for folks to finish watching the video. A long, yet successful, day!
