The winning (pirate) team of the 2010 Breckenridge Outhouse Races.
Each year, the town of Breckenridge, Colorado celebrates "Kingdom Days," a tribute to a tiny loophole that left Breck as a "Kingdom" instead of part of the United States. (Take that, Boulder!) The weekend offered free mining tours including the Lomax Mine, the Washington Gold and Silver mine among others. There was a free petting zoo and burro rides from Laughing Valley Ranch, kid's art workshops in the Arts District, walking tours of historical downtown, gunfights from Gold Canyon Gunfighters and... oh, did I mention THE OUTHOUSE RACES?! For those of you who read the previous post, you know I got a little too close, trying to get "the shot" and, yes, I got hit by an outhouse. Hard. No, I did not get too hurt, no my cameras did not break, and no, there was NO poo in the outhouse.
