Colorado Rockies


Pikes Peak Colorado Springs, CO




Yes I am Blogging while on Vacation!!!! Ain't Laptops cool??



I'm not tired yet. I forgot my cable to attach the camera to the computer... so I got some off the trusty internet....Which I don't think Pikes peak has changed much since these pics where taken... Having a great time... lots of changes in plans....

We stayed last night at the Ramada limited.... it was limited alright....limited space, limited water in the pool, limited lightbulbs, limited electric outlet covers, limited wallpaper.... we had reserved the room via the internet and it was really, really small. With 4 people....the roll-a-way had to be crammed inand blocked the door.... The picture on Orbits was decietful, made it look so spacious...and modern...... so a few more phone calls finally got us on a military base. (that was the original plan...but they were booked) So here we are at Peterson Airforce base tonight and Airforce Acadamy tommorow. Much nicer two bedroom apartment.


Today was our first real day to sight see.... so we took a road trip into the mountains and went to cripple creek and florrisant fossil beds...and took lots of pictures. I got to ride an old narrow gage railroad car.... so see lots of gold mines. Saw an elk, and mountains as far as the eye could see. it was neat. I can't wait to spend some more time walking throught the mountains. The air feels a little thinner up here but it feels pretty good. I like the crispness of the air. I can't wait to see what tommorow brings.

Here are a couple mountain pictures.... TTFN
