After a long drive on back roads, we came into what is left of the old town of Apex.  Once a bustling mining town high in the mountains of Colorado, it now is just a collection of a few old buildings and not much else.

There is an odd compound up this side road.  The owner will talk your ear off if you give him the chance.
