Re: [TCML] Colorado Springs



Hi and thanks to all who have responded already!
I have 2 private emails and they are stored so I can reply after my trip.

I have re-read my books for sure now as I thought the lab where he did all the HV experiments was about 15 miles out of town and in the mountains at a site selected because it has a high incident of lightning strikes there. I know the book has a photo of a field and a piece of rusting machinery in the fore ground.

My friend was in the "Springs last fall doing an OSHA course he said the museum was gone and he got blank looks when he asked around about Tesla. No one he spoke to knew anything about the significance of their town or even who Tesla was, much like the experience with TCML member who was just there recently.

I will be there almost 2 weeks this Sept and will try and dig up something, even if it is pix of houses!

     I'd not say so.
     There was a museum in Colorado Springs, tho i think
     it closed.  5 minutes work with google brought up the
     'best guess' as to the lab location.  On a Colorado
     Springs public info web site.  Roughly: Foote St & Kiowa
     St, off East Pikes Peak Ave.  google maps...  There is
     (or was?) a state historical marker about the lab on
     East Pikes Peak Ave...

     The lab was out EAST of town.  The mountain is westish.
     (hint: The Prestige is FICTION.)

> AKA a farmer's field now
     Its a residential neighbourhood, like any other:
     houses on 1/2acreish lots.

     I was there, perhaps 15 years back.
     The ITS (as was) researched the lab location, my
     copies might be findable.  The location of the lab
     can be roughed in by relation to remaining buildings
     notably the State School for the Deaf(?) (name now
     changed.)
     Might be useful to write down house number at the
     Historic Sign: not exactly where the lab was, and across
     street (south side) on park like land.  Lab was northish
     and westish....
