Day Fifteen

The Stay Wise Inn was quiet and nice and had a good breakfast.  They provide omelets on their breakfast bar.  The eggs are cooked into a tortilla shape and put in a warmer.  Then you get one, add whatever you want - ham, cheese, tomatoes, onions, mushrooms, etc. - and fold it over and stick it in the microwave for a few seconds.  Golfer said it was good.  I had a waffle. :)

We got on the road and had a gorgeous drive through some awesome mountains.  Of course there were some road repairs and construction going on and we had to wait at a couple points, but it was so pretty.

Here are just a few of the pictures I took.



I think the sign said this was Lake Fork.  It was huge.

These low clouds caught my eye.  Or we may have just been up high enough that they were in their normal place.  :)

We drove through areas where the rock formations were all sharp and edgy, and then there would be areas of round, smooth formations.  All beautiful!

I think this is Monarch Mountain.  We went up and up and up and down and down.  Winding road, no guardrails, lots of ear popping.

We are at a Quality Inn in Colorado Springs for tonight.  Tomorrow we move out to Peterson AFB Lodging for three nights.  (no room there tonight)  It was nice they let us check in early, there was laundry to do.  And Golfer has taken Kirk to the Acura dealer for an oil change and check-up.  We will be going to dinner when he gets back.  The laundry is all done, I re-organized all the clean things and re-packed the suitcases.

 

Tomorrow afternoon we are taking the cog railway up Pike's Peak.  We have our jackets!

 

Stay safe and God Bless America!
