Heading East

  Our last two days in Colorado Springs were partly rainy and cooler.  We were very fortunate to have a clear sunny day to see Pikes Peak and Garden of the Gods on Friday.  We hiked some more in Garden of the Gods, saw the Air Force Academy and drove to Criple Creek an old mining community reinvented as a casino destination.  All of the sights are somewhat diminished by not having the mountains as a back drop but no complaining as mostly we have had great weather.  Our destination today is Kansas where we already have packed full itinerary courtesy of my brothers in-laws Gayle and Alice Vernon who we’ll meet up with in Topeka.

Kathy & Carole-hope you enjoy Kansas. Lots of farms. Forgot to mention the Gateway Arch in St. Louis. Enjoyed the view from the top of the Arch. A tram takes you to the top & you see The stadiums nearby. Maybe the Cardinals will be home to see baseball at Busch stadium. If you have the time I think you would like it. If you haven't been there already, I think you'll like it.
