2012-06 The charming mountain town of Nederland

Nederland is a great little mountain town 3 miles north of us on the Peak to Peak Hwy (Peak to Peak Hwy info  ).

Pictures around town: Our local sights in Nederland CO

It has multiple cafes, a nature / ecology center (http://wildbear.org/  ), smokehouse-brewery, museums, a beautiful carousel with all hand-carved wooden animals, a cafe in old train cars, an ancient steam shovel, a skate park and even a yoga center, all to intice weary travellers to stop in for a closer look. And well worth the stop.  http://nederlandco.org/

The Carousel of Happiness absolutely is a must-see. At $1.00 a ride, it is a bargain and special treat. http://www.carouselofhappiness.org/flashcarousel/flash.html

Also, turns out the fishing has been pretty good at Barker Reservoir!

Cannot complain at all about spending 4-5 months here. We are very lucky!
