Our Cruise
Home from Vettes on the Rockies |
|
|
We made it to Colorado Springs, Co that evening before
calling it a night |
|
|
|
Seven Falls, Co
Seven Falls
cascades 181 feet in seven distinct steps down a solid
cliff of pikes peak granite. Crystal clear water from
the southern most edges of the Pikes Peak watershed
have, over the ages, carved this unique scenic
masterpiece in an easily accessed location - click on
URL for more info |

one reason for stopping in Colorado Springs for the
night was
to take the 12 minute drive out to
Seven Falls before
heading back to Texas. We got in our stair climbing
that morning, all 224 steps up and then back down -
awesome views of the waterfall along the way |
This tree wasn't big enough to drive a
car thru but it had to be one of the largest Ponderosa
Pines I have ever seen, estimated at over 400 years old. |

Cruisin' On Home
We new that a late start from Seven Falls
would put us home late but, it is very hard to leave
that beautiful country |
|
The mountains started fading out of the horizon and the
land became flater |
 |
 |
...they grew fainter and fainter |
|

A state line marker for another
CCP point |
Glenda grabbing another
CCP point as well,

a look in the rear view mirror as the sun was setting -
it warranted a stop for a better photo |

The McMahan party arrived home in the 1am timeframe on
Tuesday morning - getting up to head to work at 5am was
a tough one |
