Here we are at the Country
Lodge Motel in Colorado Springs, getting ready for an adventure.
|
To drive up Pike's Peak.
Here is the town below Pike's Peak.

About halfway between
the 4th and 5th mile marker we see a sign for a BIGFOOT crossing!!
|
Close to 1/4 of the
way to the top is a gift shop, and this well is outside it.
|
 |
 |
|
Here's the lake by the
gift shop.
|
We made it to the top
of Pike's Peak! And those clouds are getting pretty dark... it's
going to rain on us.
|
 |
 |
|
Yep! It's started
to rain on us!
|
Katherine Lee Bates
penned the poem, "America the Beautiful" on top of Pike's Peak. Here's
a plaque to commerate that.

Oh boy! I get
to drive down the mountain in the hard steady rain.
|
I had to get out and
get a picture of this very close to the top. Very pretty.
|
 |
Whew! What fun!
What terror! LOL! But I'll never forget that drive. It
only took me 2 1/2 hours to make the trip up and back.
