The
Leadville,
Colorado and Southern Railroad
The Morrisons and Greenfeders took the train to enjoy
the scenery on their way to VOTR |
|
Their slogan "It's not the destination, but the
journey that's important" is very similar to Doug's
CCP slogan: "The cruise is NOT about the
destination... IT IS ABOUT what you see along the way!" |

When we left Texas, our flowers were all but dead due to
20+ days of no rain - here the flowers looked as if it
were still Spring. |

These flowers were almost the color of pearl Doug used
on their C5 paintjob |
