That is quite a drive from Texas, being right on the western edge of Colorado. The trees always look so golden there in the fall. It really seems like a nice quiet and relaxing place. That is the 2nd Diamond T truck I have seen. A guy that use to sell at the flea market had one that he was restoring, and I had not heard of that brand of truck or ever saw one before until his. Those trucks all seem to be restored to pristine condition.
@maynardcat I didn't know too much about Diamond T either till I saw one at the junkyard about 8 years ago...I was more familiar with Diamond Reo which was when White Motor Co. merged the Diamond T and Reo divisions which they had acquired into one brand. I still saw a lot of Diamond Reo trucks in use when I was a kid in Ohio in the 80's.
@retrochad Man it's nice to see an all original Diamond T. I like those trucks a lot. Unfortunately, I live in the "hot rod" state where people make a mess of cars and trucks that are becoming increasingly rare.
@theduke502 I actually went to a junkyard about 8 years ago where there was a Diamond T School bus which had been made into an RV probably back in the 50's or 60's. It was missing the engine but was otherwise intact. I don't know what happened to it as now it looks like the junkyard has been all cleared out.
@retrochad Wow, that's too bad. A friend of ours, as far as I know still has his 1928 Diamond T pickup. He fully restored it years ago, and said he used to take it out every now and then for a spin. I mean, this thing didn't even have scuff marks on the white walls, lol! I can only assume he passed it down to his sons. I haven't seen it in ages, but I still have Polaroids of it.
The scenery, the horse sculpture and that Diamond T really make that place. It seems quiet as well, which can be nice if you really want to unwind.

Looks like a great place. Looks like an expensive place! Love the horse sculpture.

That peak sort of reminds me of Devil's Tower in the Close Encounters movie.

Very nice place. Although not much activity, or it seems, but that can be good too!
I like those fans, they really do look nice, and nice that they provide them too.
Also gotta love those antique trucks!

Gorgeous place. Love those two trucks. You have a nose for finding great venues like that.

Is that on the continental devide? What is the elevation there. I am not sure where Gateway is, anywhere near Estes Park or Aspen?
