  • This thing is really cool.

  • Wonderful vid! Wife and I from Wisconsin took a vacation to Rocky Mtn NP about a month ago and happened upon this piece of mechanical history on a day trip to the south - my elderly dad had asked me to take some pictures of Eldora where he and my grandparents vacationed in 1939, and Nederland is very near.
