Today we headed south out of Golden/Denver. Along the way we passed Castle Rock.....
Guess we now know why the town is called Castle Rock! :) Sorry for the quality of the photo.... we were moving down the highway at about 65mph.
We also came to a scenic overlook. With the clouds and the mountains, I just couldn't resist a pic. This is looking out over the Air Force Academy air field.
We arrived in Manitou Springs..... really now just a suburb of Colorado Springs. But what a funky place. We caught the tail end of an art/craft fair. It was setup just along this beautiful stream.
See all the cairns in the stream? Someone had spent a lot of time erecting them. I wonder how they survived the flooding last month.
We wondered around the historic downtown of Manitou Springs..... lots of cute shops and loads of tourist shops. But interesting to see. And of course, loads of great restaurants. And yes, we found one! :)
Here we are.... all setup and ready for the evening. This park is an older park which is just fine since it has a lot of huge trees to shade us. There is a stream and biking/walking path that runs along the side of the park (we can hear the water from outside). All in all, a pretty nice place to stay.
