Description
The name Caretakers comes from the small white house river right where Cleo Combs lived and was the caretaker of the pipeline throughout the royal gorge. Combs's job was to walk along the pipeline and check for leaks in which case he would repair them to ensure a steady flow into the city. The care takers house can be a cool place to pull of and enjoy the legacy of the gorge.
