Bishops Castle

We had the fortune of experiencing Bishops Castle, this is like NOTHING we have ever scene before and only 2 hours away from Denver! Such an amazing and unusual place. It is called Bishops Castle after Jim Bishop, the crazy old man that has been building this huge castle solely by him self out of rocks since 1969... as a hobby, a self made masterpiece. You can climb many stories up to these look out towers, climb on/over wire bridges spend hours exploring the ins and outs of this castle. For those with a heights phobia this may be a bit intimidating but truly spectacular! There is a lot more information about this online if you Google Bishops Castle.







This is Jim Bishop - a seemingly friendly, harmless, normal looking "older" man that is politically motivated and has a ton of strange ideas about government and the world around him. Below is a few of Jim Bishops written opinions around the castle....

That is cool!!! We MUST go see that sometime!!, but dang...we'd better keep our eyes on our young 'uns or it sounds like old man Jim will have their hides!

I wonder if it would be cheaper to build our house that way...better start saving rocks...
