We played our second performance of "Goodbody's Gold" yesterday afternoon at the Old School Building in Dumont. It was great! The audience got really into it interacting with the cast which really made the whole thing so much fun!
I'm the slow talking, dim witted mine foreman, Bob Faithful, who was short cheated in the brains department. My job is to find out, by using "good old fashioned modern detective work" who the villain is that's determined to force the sale in the mine by disrupting mine operations using mysterious explosions in order to lower the value of the mine so he, the villain, can pick it up for a cheap price.
The villain, I.B. Fowler is the local attorney. He's played by Bruce Bell.
Donna and Glenda from the Frothy Cup attended the performance yesterday. The Blackwells and the Colonel, attended the first one on Saturday.
We all forgot some of our lines yesterday but that just made the performance that much more fun!
We have 2 more performances to go next weekend then its curtains!
Scouted out campsites on Joe's land up in York Gulch the other day. Intended to go today to continue looking for the best site but it looks like its going to rain so I will go tomorrow instead.
From the view up there I can look down into Spring Gulch where I camped on old Bill Lee's mule ranch last summer. By the way, Bill Lee, attended the first performance on Saturday and afterwards I had an interesting conversation with him about using his donkeys in early spring to go door to door in Spring Gulch like I planned to this summer. He may let me do it for free.
Anyway, I've got to get moving on locating a camp site soon because I still have to build a shelter. It's 9200 feet up and so the snows come earlier there than they do in Idaho Springs.
I figure this week I can get a lot done up there in York Gulch. Then, I can camp up there 3-4 times a week and stay the rest of the week at the Lucas House.
Can't wait to get up in York Gulch. I'm not going to cook or build a fire to make the conditions even more extreme. Joe says that the winds up there have been clocked at 140 miles per hour. That's way over hurricane strength!
Well gotta get going and pick up some supplies at the hardware store for my stay up in York Gulch.
The first 2 pics show the Melodrama getting started yesterday. Bruce Bell is shown in the first pic. The third pic shows my view from York Gulch of one of the 14 teeners, Mount Evans, which is about 30 miles distant as a crow flies.
Peace and God's blessings to all y'all!
