DAY 7 - Friday 6/24
	we checked out of the hotel since we were leaving after a few adventures in town
Our first adventure was to be the Bachelor / Syracuse Mine Tour.  Unfortunately, the county decided to tear up the road, replacing the drainage culverts under the road so our Vettes weren't an option to get the 2.5 miles up the road.  Stan tried to get something rounded up for a shuttle for us but it was too late
	our next adventure was Box Canyon Falls - only a little over 2 block from the hotel but all uphill - so we opted to drive
		there is a visitor center and a nominal fee to view this falls
A sign explaining how the creation of this awesome place			another sign talked about the hidden waterfall
	this isn't a falls you can see the whole thing from any angle ...but the uniqueness and forcefulness make it very interesting
		...the sound of the raging water echos in the mountain
	you can go down stairs to the bottom for a totally different experience
	you can stand and watch the forcefulness and volume - you could snap a hundred pictures and none would be the same
A View from down at the Falls
	five us decided to hike up to the top to view the falls and river from the top
	you could see the town of Ouray and Cascade falls very well from up here
		awesome view from up on top of the bridge
The view of part of our group from the top			the view of us from where they were standing
	of course we had to wave for the photo
		a fellow hiker offered to take a photo of us up on the overlook bridge
A View from on Top of the Walkway
	at the end of the bridge, there is a short tunnel thru the mountain for the perimeter trail
	...of course we saw this bridge build sign as we were leaving - built in 1900
we knew it was fairly steep going up ...but it looked steeper going down			a couple of Vettes peeking thru the trees
	the rest of the group waiting for us down at the bottom
		it was time to load up and head on up the highway, north on 550 as we headed thru Ouray for the last time this trip
on up the highway
	the view behind us was awesome the picturesque Switzerland of America mountains with America's Sports Cars trailing behind
	the view ahead was changing quickly, as we left Ouray, Switzerland of America
