I had a long drive over the weekend – went up to Colorado Springs to visit Harold, the guy who built the Black Canyon Railroad (see the tab in the header). While I was “In the area” I took an hour and a half drive up to Longmont to spend some time to visit with my cousin, who has been fighting juvenile diabetes since the age of 15. That was 47 years ago. I’m glad I got the chance to spend time with Bev and her husband, George. I may not get another chance.

Clouds at Window Rock

More Window Rock

I really like this stretch of I-40 and the rock formations.

East of Santa Fe on I-25

South of Raton, NM

On top of Raton Pass. It had been a long time since I came into Colorado via this route, it’s still as beautiful as ever.

Real Mountains

Real Weather. Can you believe that when it rains there, the temperature actually drops quite a bit?

Sunday Morning on the Front Range

Stadium for some kind of military school in the area … 😉

Cimarron Street in Colorado Springs, it got dark and rainy after this so I quit taking pictures while I was driving.

A bonus was driving by and confirming a childhood home in Longmont. Saw it, recognized it, and had a flood of memories come crashing back in. So overwhelmed I forgot to take pictures.

Since the trip, I’ve gotten back into updating the genealogy here on the site. I’ll be making updates now and again.

Well, I’ve probably chewed your ear enough for a while.

Chat ya later…

Thanks for stopping by, In GOD We Trust, and Wear Red on Fridays!
