Last fall during the bi-annual elk pilgrimage to central Colorado we spent a little down time in our base of operations; Eagle, Colorado. Here is the view looking north along Broadway and the Brush Creek Saloon. My first time in Eagle, more than sixteen years ago, the sidewalks weren't brick and the Brush Creek was still a saloon. I'm not saying change is a bad thing, nor am I saying not changing is a bad thing. It is clear the influence of the Vail area is pushing ever westward and quickly these ties to the past will be gone. If you've ever wanted to see the old west, hurry, because it is certain that you can't take the old west out of the cowboy but you can, and they will, take the cowboy out of the old west. And if you ever find yourself in Eagle at the Brush Creek Saloon have an order of green chili for me.
