This is just an overview of the route we plan on taking. None of these roads are exact, and this is not the route we have already gone.

Another day...

After sleeping extremely well in New Mexico, we enjoyed some KOA pancakes for breakfast (too lazy to make our own). We headed out and saw lots of pretty views - and lots of cows - along the way to Denver, Colorado. After getting some forewarning about "possible thunderstorms" in Denver, we decided to skip camping and stay in a hotel for the night.
Along the way to Denver, we stopped in Colorado Springs and saw the Uncle Wilber Fountain, a fountain in "America The Beautiful Park", Santa's workshop at the North Pole, the entrance to Pike's Peak, very large paper clips, a door to nowhere, Garden of the Gods and a lot of lightening. Tomorrow we plan on going back to C. Springs to make the 38 mile (round trip) drive to the top of the mountain. First, however, we must check the weather so we aren't rained out again.
After shooting over 1,000 photos, and deleting about 990 of them, the following photograph was retrieved:

Enjoy the night :)
