ColoradoRick > August 8, 2005 was the MINI5280 Bishop Castle Fun Run and the one year anniversary of receiving our MINI. Oddly, this is the only MINI photo of this run.
ColoradoRick > Bishop Castle is located in central Colorado near Colorado City, about 130 miles southwest of Denver. There were several tight S-turns driving toward and away from the castle.
ColoradoRick > Visitors will notice and read this sign upon entering.
ColoradoRick > This is Jim Bishop, working on the moat. Bishop has been building his castle for over 30 years -- "Did it all myself, don't want any help." Quoted from Roadside America dot com: http://www.roadsideamerica.com/attract/COBEUcastle.html
ColoradoRick > The first view of the castle, just off the highway. All three towers (left, middle, right) are visible from this angle.
ColoradoRick > The dragon and the highest (left) tower, in the background.
ColoradoRick > Side view, with the highest tower on the left and the next highest (middle) tower just to the right of it. Far right tower is not visible. Two of the three towers are accessible, it you want to climb the circular staircases.
ColoradoRick > Wendy climbs the steps to the main level, where a wrought iron catwalk encircles the castle. Even the main level is about two stories off the ground.
ColoradoRick > The castle looks like it will stand for many years.
