Steve gave us a great tour filled with lots of info with entertaining stories and a great presentation. And even though it was 90 degrees, Steve made sure that we stayed mostly in the shade while he explained lots about Salida's history, buildings and facts that my daughter and son-in-law who live here didn't even know. Great job!Steve was interesting and very knowledgable. We enjoyed hearing the history and stories of the area.
