    Yes, my family lived and lived there. My aunt did The Powerpuff race (women only). It was a driving race up and down Pikes Peak. Then they would all climb the Kissing Camel in The Garden Of The Gods and sign their names. I love to visit my family! It is soo beautiful there.

    • @cindyhayden385
      @cindyhayden385 16 дней назад

      Also, it was back in the 40,s when the races were. The road was dirt and gravel. In the 70,s the roads were tiny. You would have to honk your horn at the curves to see if someone was coming from the other direction. It was still mostly rock roads.

    Oh, it’s a beautiful place. My mother’s brother lived there. He was in the Air Force and just really tired there and stay there for the rest of his life pikes Peak. I remember going to all those places when I was younger. Now I get to see him all over again to you.

    When you make your way to Oregon, you have to visit and spend some time at Crater Lake. It's one of those places that'll take your breath away and you'll never forget.
    Do check the current conditions page before hand though as the weekend storm has closed the main road to the building and overlook.

    Your trip brings me back so many memories! Love the Springs! I have attempted to climb the trail over the stairs with a ministry, but I didn’t make the halfway mark in time, so sadly I had to climb back down. The cliff dwellings are just amazing and you have to make it to Mesa Verde when you get the chance. When I went as a kid, I was able to go into the dwellings and look inside. They are amazing! Try beautiful!

    Wow, what a cruise excursion. (g) One thing to remember about Colorado Springs is that the weather can easily change hourly. In one day in early June, I encountered snow falling at Pike's Peak, a rainstorm at the Air Force Academy and a hail storm at the Olympic Training Center.

    Good afternoon. Our storm chaser friend that does different trips during non storm season and took us to Pikes Peak and got to go all the way to the top. I don't do good in any hilly or curved roadways so had to look away when we were going up just like when you were going up had to look away. It sure is a beautiful area to visit. Garden of God wow very interesting place. Would/was it mobility accessible if you had a chair of any kind? That would be an excellent adventure for us to do. Thanks for sharing and glad you enjoyed Colorado and it's very beautiful scenery. HAGD.

    • @EECCTravels

    Many years ago I was planning a tour through Colorado, and was amazed at the things to see in the Colorado Springs area.
    Are you heading to Cañon City and the Royal Gorge Bridge?
    I think that I was planning to head to Durango, where there's another train that I had been planning.
    SO, my guess is that the Royal Gorge Bridge is the next stop on your journey

      I see what you're saying, so Ill give you
      some sauce, I recommend Evelyn Morgan Wright, her general market
      knowledge and assets management
      skill are truly first class, if you do your
      research you'll know for yourself that
      the old woman's work ethic is off the
      charts, I've never seen anyone so
      dedicated, so l'm pretty sure it would
      help you get back on the winning part.
      As for your capital, that depends on you
      but going with at least 25k USD will be a
      good start.
