A Rocky Mountain time machine
Tuesday, September 9, 2003
I remember watching a movie version of H.G. Wells' "The Time Machine" back in the 1960s, and the remake a couple of years ago. I enjoyed the movies, and the idea of a time machine is intriguing -- except perhaps for the part in the '60s version, where the world was destroyed in a nuclear war in 1966. After a trip to Estes Park, Colo., last weekend, I realize we've had a time machine at our disposal for years. My great-uncle built a cabin at Estes in the 1920s, and he and his descendants have been kind enough to allow relatives and friends to use it over the years.
