Epoch Times article on Colorado's Bishop Castle. I went there in 2015, met Jim Bishop. https://www.theepochtimes.com/man-spends-52-years-building-160-foot-rock-castle-in-colorado-forest-now-hes-79-years-old_5170383.html?utm_source=Morningbrief&src_src=Morningbrief&utm_campaign=mb-2023-05-02&src_cmp=mb-2023-05-02&utm_medium=email&est=hQW3hpOmGKjsIxcoiheFOUCzNQoYlW9wW%2FYdCR26GH9Y2YqdtaS1%2F9gILYS5TfJq" rel="nofollow - https://www.theepochtimes.com/man-spends-52-years-building-160-foot-rock-castle-in-colorado-forest-now-hes-79-years-old_5170383.html?utm_source=Morningbrief&src_src=Morningbrief&utm_campaign=mb-2023-05-02&src_cmp=mb-2023-05-02&utm_medium=email&est=hQW3hpOmGKjsIxcoiheFOUCzNQoYlW9wW%2FYdCR26GH9Y2YqdtaS1%2F9gILYS5TfJq ------------- "If you didnt buy your 1st gen 4Runner new, then YOU are a newbie!!"

I remember Don and Josh going all the way to the top. Too scary for me. ------------- 1998 TJ 4.0 5spd Atlas 36" Swampers RE4.5 ARB's 44/44 |

Same here. I went up in some of the higher parts and it was swaying and bouncing up and down with kids running around and I rapidly made my way back down. Anyone who goes to southeastern Colorado should definitely make this a stop, its well worth experiencing. ------------- "If you didnt buy your 1st gen 4Runner new, then YOU are a newbie!!"

That is impressive. We were close to this area last week but I had never heard of Bishop Castle. ------------- stout22 76 Bronco 302, EFI, C4 Auto, 4.3 Atlas, 3.5" lift, 1" body, locked d44 and Locked 9" |

That is a very unique place. I don't know how he managed to build that almost singlehandedly.. ------------- 1998 TJ 4.0 5spd Atlas 36" Swampers RE4.5 ARB's 44/44 |
