Nice Church and a couple buildings I would have loved to get into. No one around so that will have to wait for another time. Just a short distance west of town is a nude beach. Took some photos but they are x rated so I can't post them for you.
A reader writes - Thanks for the pictures. Well done. I grew up in Weldona and had relatives in Orchard. Sorry to see that the church burned down. My grandfather had a grocery store in Orchard in the 1920s.
A viewer writes - I found your website when I did a search for Weldona, Colorado. My family is a little disappointed in your website because we are the founders of the "nude beach" and the pictures we have are not that bad. Our annual nude beach party is a community celebration for people to gather and have fun. We have a Cajon boil and the kids play games such as volleyball and at the end of the night we have a bon fire and roast marshmallows. We started the nude beach as a joke because we have a recharge pond and when we built it there was not enough water to put into the pond. So there fore it is a nude beach, no one is actually nude. We found it interesting that our nude beach party was on a website but I though you needed more information on the topic.
A viewer writes - Hi, I thought I would give you the information about the Fourth Annual Nude Beach Party. It will be Friday May 9th 2008 and starts about 5:30 or so. This years theme is Think Pink for Patty, Patty is a friend of the family that was treated for breast cancer and has had a reoccurrence in the last couple of months. She is a local girl that is loved dearly! It would be great if you and your family could attend. Its a great time to gather and relax! Hope to see you there. Cindy and Foy Chapin
A viewer writes - Wednesday April 4th 2012 -- I enjoy your site. I grew up in Weldona. The building behind the Catholic Church was the old Union Pacific RR depot. Alas, there were no nude beaches when I was growing up. tmall1934@gmail.com
