WONDERFUL TIME IN COLORADO

We left last Sunday morning after church for Colorado Springs to visit Daryl & Vicki Anderson. Daryl was Rog's roommate in college. After spending the night in Colorado Springs, we headed to the cabin where we planned to spend the week. We saw hundreds of antelope along the road as we traveled and I have 2 of them pictured racing us down the road.

Rog was planning to do some writing to take along when he goes to Ecuador and Mary had a Bible study to prepare and we were able to accomplish all of that and still had some time to hike, drive, and enjoy the beauty of the mountains and the Spanish Peaks.

The cabin we stayed in belongs to a family in our church and is located in between the Spanish Peaks. We were able to hike to the meadow one day and carve the year 06 on our tree(started that 26 years ago and have only missed 1 or 2 years since). Ten years ago, Grandpa & Grandma Tucker hiked to the meadow with us and put their date on a tree. We also had lunch sitting on a rock by the stream. We have some pictures of the beautiful mountains(several which were snow-capped) and the awesome fall colors of the aspen trees in the meadow.
We always love the beauty of the mountains but we have never been there in the fall with all the gorgeous colors of the aspens and the red, yellow, orange and green on the mountain side.

We went into the small town of LaVeta a couple of times while we were there and the cows get in the road and the deer graze in the church yard and some of the resident's yards. They are very tame so I was able to get way too many pictures.

We look forward to taking the grandkids out there someday and showing them around. We had a wonderful time!
