Grand Lake, Colorado, 1881

[lockestheway]

A modest flash of light illuminated the Colorado night for a brief few seconds before fading. In its wake, it left a castle sitting on an island sitting in Grand Lake, as one did, and nothing on Fandom was changed. Well, besides the many rain puddles, which almost immediately began to drain into the lake.

By morning, the sun was high in the sky, and temperatures hit an even 70 degrees Fahrenheit. It would warm up a little more during the day, but not by much.

Several miles across the water laid the beginnings of a mining town. Grand Lake was a whiles away from Hot Sulphur Springs, and young and full of excitement. A train station laid a short riding distance away, but the real draw were the mines near the town.

People on horseback occasionally trotted across the plains, but more often they were filled with cattle, or nothing at all.

Welcome to the frontier. Where steam rules and cowboys roam.
