June 4, 2014 Colorado Springs


 There are 23 mountain peaks higher than 13,500 feet in elevation visible from this location.
Just a few of those 23 peaks are visible behind us in this shot.
This is the sign for our campground for the next two nights.
 Here is Tweety and Frosty  all set up on site #52 at MountainDale Campground.
 For lunch immediately upon arrival, Becky did a Guacamole live with some Chicken tenders and some fresh veggies.  Oh yes, don't forget the Salvador Margaritas.
 Our day trip from the campground took us to the Garden of the Gods.  These Red Rocks are incredible if you haven't ever seen them.
 Becky and the red rocks ( Garden of the Gods)
 Doug with the red rocks (Garden of the Gods).
 Notice the skinny pass into which a  car must squeeze to enter this section of the Garden of the Gods.
 We are having a good time with these self pics. 
 The Amazing balanced rock.  Read below to get the scoop.

 Another view of the Amazing balanced rock.  Notice the very small base upon which it rests.
 This unusual peak has two climbers on its right hand side.  Can you find them?
 This formation is called "Kissing Camels"  use your imagination.  LOL
 Not all the rocks are red.  There is always the odd duck????
 These vertical red formations were awesome.  This is what gives this place it's true beauty.
