Thanks for joining us today I want to bring you a little bit different of a
video this time around the property we're gonna be visiting today is not
abandoned and is not derelict it is remote however it is soon to be
abandoned and forgotten now what I'm referring to is the Dillon ice castles
now to get there you're gonna have to leave the city of Breckenridge and cross
this reservoir here but once you do you're gonna find this beautiful little
burg of Dillon Colorado now Dillon is a lake community that's surrounded by ski
communities and this time of year it doesn't have quite as many attractions
as its neighbors they sure do put on a spectacular show
though using over 10,000 icicles the town puts together a 25 million pound
ice castle literally one icicle at a time constructs this thing like they're
doing here by using dripping water running water and spraying water they're
able to produce this let's have a look
as you can see it's a lot of fun for the whole family and the Utah company that
puts this on has been doing it free year in fact they do it all over North
America and just recently expanded into Alberta Canada granted you'll have to be
in a city that has one of these locations and gets cold enough to freeze
overnight and for those of you that are concerned about the water being used
here at least in the case of the Dylan display I know that it's all responsibly
sourced and goes right back into the local drinking supply again to learn
more about an ice castle near you I recommend that you go take a look at ice
castles calm and as always thanks so much for visiting us and spending some
time and we hope to see you again soon
