Rather than drive up Pike's Peak, the
Morrisons and Greenfeders opted to ride the
COG
railway which is operated out of Manitou, Co. |

An awesome ride up to the top,
allowing you plenty of opportunity for photos along the
way.
Crystal Lake is the lake you see
surrounded by mountains |

|
back in 1889 when the effort was started, they must
have been paying the workers in moonshine by the looks
of the track |
 |
 |
You pass the Continental Divide on the way up - this is
one of the markers |

the top of the 14,110' mountain - the answer: A LONG
WAY!!! |

So, were you guys trying to figure out why the pen was
so small or what? |

Mountain Goats - where else but in the mountains? |
snow still existed in some areas of the
mountains |
 |
|
|
|
|
|
 |
Deer ...did you ever wonder: if they call goats that
live in the mountains "mountain goats", then why aren't
these called mountain deer?
hmmm...

Some of the McMahan group drove up Pike's Peak on Sunday
evening, in the Yukon of course - a good decision since
ots only paved about half way up and some of it is a
rally bad rub-board road |
