    In life having a great partner is a dream come true. I realize that now at 65 y.o. You two seem to really enjoy each other's company and have fun in your adventures. My ex and I just came back from Durango, Colorado where we rode the Durango to Silverton Steam engine train. I enjoy watching your videos a lot. keep them coming.

    I was in the Army stationed at Ft. Carson CO in 1969 and 1970. Some fellow GI's and I drove to Canon City CO and hiked into the Royal Gorge, all the way to the hanging bridge. We were all railfans and were hoping to catch some railroad action, but no such luck. Hard for me to believe I had the energy to hike that far and back, but it was 50 years ago. I get tired just thinking about taking hikes these days.

    An awesome trip. Thank you for an informative review. In April 1967,hubby finished his Air Force commitment. On our way back East,we stopped at the Royal Gorge. At that time,I remember the suspension bridge and the tram ride to the base to the river. I think that was the extent of it. I remember the wind was blowing and temperature being cool. I’d love to go back but it’s probably impossible. Thank you folks for allowing us to tag along. We appreciate you both.

We go out there at least once a year and are heading out there on the 13th of this month. I'm glad to see things are open. You are really helping us get familiar with the rules or there with the covid. Thank you. I was glad to hear you say you were going on the Skyline drive. It's a really nice road, a little narrow here n there. Lol
    The train is great! Especially with some beers! I hope you guys have a great time out there! Stay safe!

Does anyone know how bad the Virus is in that area, it's really rural so I'm hoping there's not a problem with that.

Since March 10th, I've only been beyond the perimeter of my yard 6 times, and those times were either Dr.'s visits or other medical procedures (and went straight home afterward), and they made me wait in the parking lot till they were ready for me, called, went into an empty waiting room wearing all appropriate gear with a high dollar bottle of sanitizer used liberally.

Did you know that there was an actual war over who had the right to build the line through the gorge? Both D&RGW and Santa Fe railroads wanted it. Do a search for the Royal Gorge War to see more.

    I went on the Royal Gorge Train ride very nice, good lunch but it's a short trip. Travels up the rail fast but comes down very slow to give you a two hour ride otherwise the adventure would be over to quickly. Canon City is pretty run down city. The suspension bridge is very pricey considering all you do is walk over it and back for $60 bucks per person
