Colorado Springs and Cool Weather

Well, we made it to Colorado Springs.  The internet is not very dependable, so I have had a hard time getting something posted.  We have been here for one week, and I think the best part is the weather.  The high is usually in the low 80's, however, it has been very hot and I believe the high today was in the high 80's!  We are staying at the RV Park at the Air Force Academy.  It is lovely.  Here is my view as I "work" on the computer.  As you can see, life is pretty rough.



Yesterday, we visited Garden of the Gods.  As you will see from the pictures, it is really beautiful.  I think I really love Colorado!


But, after all, everything is never perfect.  Riding the motorcycle back yesterday was hell...or I guess I mean hail.  We got caught in a storm with lots of rain and hail.  Not a fun ride.

Friday we rode to Cripple Creek.  The riding here is amazing.


Earlier in the week, we rode up Pike's Peak.  That was terrifying very exciting.  Part of the ride was on gravel.  Due to the extreme weather conditions, the road is not paved all the way up.  When we reached the top, the summit was covered in clouds - and so no pictures.  I don't think I am going back though - even if they guarantee clear skys.

So long for now.  I am going to get a lot better with this blogging stuff!

  1. This is torture. I am sitting in front of a monitor with one leg asleep looking at gorgeous vistas and glistening bottles of beer!
