Susan at A Southern Daydreamer
is hosting Outdoor Wednesday. Be sure to check out her blog for a list of the other participants in this event. I thought I would take you on a short trip to the Colorado mountains for an afternoon outdoors. Not the usual hiking, camping type of trip as I'm just not that outdoors kind of soul!!
We heard about an auction in a small mountain town close to where we live. So, after church on a recent Sunday, we thought we had better check it out and headed up the mountain.
And I thought we have a lot of junk. The auctioneer in the black hat was selling stuff right and left!
How about an old bathtub?
Maybe, you need a window or door for your cabin! The whole pile of windows sold for $1.
A buckboard to drive to town!
A washing machine!!
The facilities?? Yes, the only restroom around was an outhouse.
I'll take the hint! Guess we better leave.
Of course, the scenery is always beautiful in the Colorado Rockies.
It's starting to rain - time to take the road to home!!
Thanks for going on our Sunday afternoon excursion with us,
Sally

Happy Outdoor Wednesday Sally! Oh my, what a great day trip...and so many interesting thing to see at the auction! Thanks for sharing your photos.~ Susan
Okay, I'll take the scenery. Are they selling any of that? And I want a bathtub for my yard to fill with flowers. (Oh the neighbors would love that!) I'll take an old washing machine, just for the sake of nostalgia. And an old window to hang outside.

What a fun day in a beautiful setting. I'm not real fond of outhouses but I saw a couple of items on the first table I wouldn't mind having :)
I love the scenery, and Colorado is on my list of places to visit :-)Happy Outdoor Wednesday! Loved reading about your day trip and auction.
Hello Sally! I came over from Susan's. I live in the delta and it's atleast 2 hrs. all around to any mountains! I love the mountains! Your pics are beautiful, well, accept for the outhouse thing! (LOL) God Bless! Lauralu :)
I haven't seen an auction with stuff like this since I was a little girl. We lived, for a short time, in Arkansas,(with an outhouse..eekk) and we used to go to auctions just like this.
Amazing, in this day and time..
Didn't you buy a single thing??

What fun that must have been. And that outhouse.... outrageous. I love a good treasure hunt.

What a beautiful drive. I love all those old windows! But the outhouse? Not so much lol. Kathy
Oh, this looks like it was fun! But my grandmother had an outhouse and I remember I was scared to go in there! Flies and it smelled so bad! :)
Be a sweetie,
Shelia ;)
I love auctions. Sounds like a great time!
Oh Boy, this is Jacob's kind of place! He would have had a field day. I would have enjoyed the journey and the view! ~ Robyn
now thats my favorite outdoor place.
I want to come! If you visit my post for Outdoor Wednesday you can see why I would buy what the Auction arrow is pointing at!!!!!!!!
What a great place to go!
What a wonderful day you must have had. Did you purchase any items?
That sure is a lot of things :-) Everything is already there! Did you have fun?
but even with the busy thrifting, the road going home was a relaxing one :-)
Happy Outdoor Wednesday!

I thoroughly enjoyed the auction. It was a great day trip :-). Thanks for sharing it with us. Have a wonderful day.
Auctions are the best
and I always spend
way too much ;-)
I'm sure I would have there because I saw some goodies,
in the photos, that could have came to live a my home!
That auction looks like it was such fun! I would have bought those windows for $1 in a heartbeat!
Thanks for posting pictures of your beautiful mountains, we don't have those in Florida and I miss them!

My DH and I would have loved that auction! We used to go to auctions in rural OK all the time. He said just yesterday that he hoped we could get to some auctions soon. And my, the view you had! Thanks for sharing.
I take it you found no transferware.
I loved the excursion! And that is my kind of trip to the mountains.
Sally, I enjoyed this outing so much. My car can hardly pass by a flea market, garage sale, rummage sale or auction. When I saw that out house a batch of memories were triggered. Wonderful blog!
