RUSH, COLORADO! A Really Small Town In Eastern El Paso County - August 20, 2005
 |
Rush, Colorado! Rush is an unincorporated town 40 miles east of
Colorado Springs in eastern El Paso County. Here's a couple of photos
from the drive on Highway 94. This is definitely the plains! ;) |
 |
Rush pretty much consists of the intersection of Rush Road and Highway 94. |
 |
So here are the hot spots in downtown Rush ...
TOP: The Rush Cafe is on the NE corner!
BOTTOM LEFT: The Rush post office on the SE corner.
80833 baby! :p)
BOTTOM RIGHT: A former general store on the NW corner. |
 |
Check out this funky pink barn-shaped shed behind the Rush Cafe! |
 |
It was very rainy throughout our visit. Here's a zoom-in shot looking west towards Pikes Peak. |
 |
My buddy Ron came along. Ron is in pictorials of the Royal Gorge and Rocky Mountain Dinosaur Museum. |
 |
There's quite a few trailer homes dotting the landscape on Highway 94.
The home in the bottom photo is for sale and is very close to the NW corner of Rush Road & Highway 94! |
 |
We drove around and a road suddenly turned into a bumpy dirt road.
I got a little upset at how washboard bumps were hurting my car. The bumps were so bad I couldn't hold the camera straight. :( |
 |
The lighting from the clouds and rain weren't
good for picture taking on the way back, but here's a photo of Pikes Peak approximately
8 to 10 miles west of Ellicott from my "Colorado Extras" pictorial. |
