Then you don't want to be here today. -28F.
It is literally 100° warmer here than there!
I can not even imagine that.
She did again? She sure is spoiling you ladies!
Yes she did. Well, me. Fran just drank her Mtn Dew.
What? Behind the mountain?
Sorry... couldn't resist the Monty Python-esque line.
That would be tempting... but I think I'd prefer to drive and stop when and if I want.
It did turn out to be the better option, especially since there was no way to accommodate Fran's
scooter.
So many "points of interest"!
Some were more interesting than others....
What? You don't want to run into one, you know.
I dunno, might be fun to take a selfie with one!
Whoops! Wrong emoji.
At least you got my inference.
Surreal. It looks like something Dali would do.
I'm obviously not going to multiquote all your photos, but suffice to say that I greatly enjoyed seeing them!
Thank you.
Actually nothing, we didn't find anything we liked (or in Fran's size) until we got to Garden of the Gods.
It does, huh?
Me too! I took several like that and that was my favorite!
Gotta get all the apartments rented and sell a car or two.....
Those are cool. Looks like a dandelion on steroids.
Yeah, it does. I have no idea what it was.
Why? Because the rocks looked unstable?
No just they were climbing rocks that were five times their size.
That really gives you a sense of just how much you climb.
And that was only in about 10-15 minutes.
Cool! I've yet to see even one.
Those were my first outside of a zoo or something.
Same here!
Or doesn't that count?
No, cause it's December. It would if it were August.
Thumbs up, I see. So you guys didn't have any altitude sickness this time?
The other two had no problems, I was sipping my Ginger Ale the whole way up the mountain.
You bought that and took it home, right?
:langhing:
I can see that. And very nice of her... again
She was a very gracious hostess!
Add some sugar and cinnamon and then we'll talk. (or eat.)
I'm not sure that it would stick.
No promises, but we'll see!
I'm going to guess that you'll have the best chance of anyone.
Cool! Never seen those either.
I would have just thought it was a Ground Hog, but Jill set me right.
Sounds interesting. I might want to check that out too.
Now that I've been to the top of the mountain I would rather go back to the Garden of the Gods.
More shirts....fudge....
That is weird! I get that erosion probably allowed them to become visible... but you'd think there'd be more, then.
Yeah, strange that there were only a few.
And took that one home too?
No?
Why not??
Only three suitcases.
I got chocolate mint and I think she got creamsicle.
All that and she cooked for you too????
I still have the in the freezer.
Makes sense. You have a bighorn sheep and a bison to take home with you.
And a whole lot of T-shirts, and no room for the bison or big horn sheep...
I can imagine how perturbed you were.
I'm a very patient person.
I prefer to be early too. I don't like being late.
And late is the story of my life, which is why I always tell Fran that we need to be somewhere an hour before we do!
