Pikes Peak
Yesterday we drove up to Pikes Peak. Gordon, Evelyn, Mike and I. It was a beautiful, clear day and it is really something to stand at 14,110 feet and look down at the world below! I had a little trouble with the curvy roads and as a result did not feel my best at the high elevation, but it was worth the drive!
Standing atop Pikes Peak, Katherine Lee Bates was inspired to write America the Beautiful.
Back down in Manatou Springs, we had to stop for a wine tasting. Enjoyed a couple of nice ones!
