Pikes Peak from Garden of the Gods.

We did some hiking today at Garden of the Gods park. The rock formations are pretty amazing. After hiking we took the 4Runner up Rampart Range Road for a couple miles. It overlooks the entire area and has some really nice views.  The road is pretty rough when you have an off road vehicle with stiff suspension and off road tires. I was reading on the "internets" today that there is a lake up in the mountains and some other cool stuff. The drive is about 60 miles though so I'm glad we didn't go to far. Did I mention it was rough and fitted out?  Tomorrow is probably going to be Pikes Peak and some other off roading.

Colorado Springs Trip

We made it to Colorado Springs on Tuesday night. The trip was not bad but the hills were a little tough while pulling the popup camper. We didn't really much on Wednesday but Ashie came over to see us so that was good. I missed her since she's been gone in the Air Force.

Today I made a "mountain man" breakfast on the dutch oven along with homemade donuts. It was good eatin'. Today we're going to Pikes Peak and do some hiking and driving. I'm trying to find someplace to go offroading later in the week.
