Colorado Springs



We spent a few days in Colorado Springs after quickly going through Iowa, Nebraska and Kansas.  We found an old but nice campground east of the city.  We had somewhat of a view of Pikes Peak but there where too many power lines in the way to get any nice pictures of the peak.  We took a ride on the Cog Railway up to the top of the peak.  It was a beautiful day and we go some nice pictures.  We sat across from an elderly couple that were celebrating their honeymoon.  They were a very cute couple.

We also drove through the Garden of the Gods.  The rock formations there are incredible.  I think this one is called "kissing camels".   We spent one of our days in Colorado Springs getting new tires on the truck and found out that the batteries needed replacing as well.   We hit the road again and now are a little north of Santa Fe in a little town called Las Vegas, New Mexico.  We've got two more weeks of traveling before we get to the refuge where we will be parked for the winter.
