73. Dinosaur Playground, Dinosaur, Colorado

What an amazing playground in such a random place!  We had just crossed into Colorado from Utah when we needed to stop for gas.  Across the road from the gas station was a huge, colourful playground in this small, dry, dusty town.  It seemed very out-of-place, but because it looked awesome and because it was in a town called Dinosaur, we decided to stop for a closer look.  It was very tall - three storeys rather than just two!  It was a little much for Charlotte in places and even I was a little bit challenged by one of the climbs!
The grass was obviously watered often and was lush and green which made for a nice change from the arid landscapes we have been used to lately.  There was even a dinosaur-themed game to play - but of course there was in this playground in this town where all the streets are named after dinosaurs!  There was a cache called "We All Scream for Ice Cream" hidden not too far away, but it was on the other side of the chain link fence and I didn't bother with it.  Even though I didn't yet have a cache in Colorado!  The playground is located at and is point #73 on the map at the bottom of home page.
