My wife and I went to Colorado Springs to see the sights and I was totally amazed at how beautiful it was. Anyone who lives near Colorado that hasn't been there yet should really try to go. Save Pike's Peak for last because it makes everything else look almost boring. And drive up if you can. It's a 19 mile drive up the mountain, and probably the scariest drive you'll ever take in 1st and 2nd gear (no guard rails), but well worth it.

Cave of the Winds was OK. The best part about it was driving up this small mountain to get to it with roads twisting and turning like a tight road course. The Kia Optima took it pretty well actually.

We went to the Royal Gorge the next day and I walked out onto the World's highest suspension bridge in winds gusting so hard they would knock you down if you wasn't holding on. All the while the bridge is bouncing and twisting around under your feet. What a trip!

I hope to have some pics on the PC pretty soon to show everyone.

Any Stangers living in the Colorado Springs area? I saw a few, but mostly saw a bunch of Ricers. I envy anyone living in Colorado for the beautiful country you have there, but you can keep the heat!

Just wanted to share this with everyone in case someone else was planning a trip there.

Cya.
