Pikes Peak or Bust

We had a quick trip to Colorado Springs to attend an
RV Safety Seminar and have the motohomes weighed.

Thank you Robyn & Darold for caring & sharing your lives with us!

Before we came home, we ventured to the "top of the world" :-)
Pikes Peak was our second 14'ner ~ The first being Mt. Evans
?? Wonder whether we'll really hike one sometime ??

Here are some pix from our adventure Saturday morning ...

Next ... The Biggest Goofball (!) ...

Leave no stone unturned ...

Yellow Bellied Whistling Marmot ...
Note for future trips ~ Prefers cheez-its to pretzels :~)

And Finally, Presenting the Littlest Goofball ...
