Colorado 2018 - Scenic Journeys +
We drove over to Marble, CO..
The following photo's are of our drive to the Crystal mill followed by the town of Crystal. I think it is self explanatory and what follows this is future. You may be surprised to learn what that mill actually functioned as. Added around 80 new travel photo's 11-17-2018 |

 This is called a Mill but, it was actually a compressor station, which used a water turbine to drive an air compressor. The compressed air was then used to power other machinery for mining or a mill that processed the concentrate from a mine.
|  The 4x4 road to Crystal goes by this lake. The reflection off the lake was just right on Sunday, June 17,2018
|  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  To tell you the truth that was a bumpy ride and we will probably not make that trip down that road and back again.
|  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  Numerous views of the Compressor/ mill at Crystal Colorado.
|  I have an old black and white photo of that mill when it was in operation many many years ago. When I find that photo in my files I will post it here.
|  I remember reading some where that this is the most photographed thing in Colorado.
|  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  This and the following photo's are of the town of Crystal and after the Air compressor/mill.
