My friend Stuart and I walked around Golden, Colorado yesterday afternoon to get a little exercise. We walked along the Clear Creek trail, and on the way back wandered through the Golden History Park, where I took the above photograph of Stuart in front of the Pearce / Helper cabin. It was built in 1878 and was a fixture on the Pearce ranch for many years, before moving to this site. We then walked through downtown Golden, which was almost completely deserted. We stopped at Colorado Plus 49 Cidery and Pub for takeout, and dined at a table on a bridge overlooking Clear Creek and the foothills beyond. There was nobody in the restaurant when we picked up our food, except for the two people who worked there, and I got the impression that business was extremely slow. If the closure order for restaurants lasts too long, I'm afraid independent places like Colorado Plus 49 will not survive. Let's all hope for a quick worldwide end to the coronavirus.
