Colorado Springs

Colorado is a beautiful state, and Colorado Springs is where much of that mountainous beauty began for us. Our Hotel was first class - thanks to Mike and Kent - although we were so far away from the lobby I had to drive there. But the place was so large that was understandable. Our main points of interest were;
1. The US Air Force Academy - Mike's alma mater. He gave us a tour and pointed out the important aspects - such as they (the Academy) were much higher that either West Point of Annapolis - what that means I don't know :-). Also got to see a great presentation of the Academy Cadets marching to the mess hall (Lunch Service). Their precision was commendable.


2. Next stop was Garden Of The Gods. This area of the lower Rockies is made up of a series of unusual rock formations, very beautiful.
3. Then we went to a restaurant Mike had been refereed to many years back called The Keg. I was told they were famous for their Buffalo Burgers - true.
4. Our final destination was a biker watering hole - then back to the hotel.
I had been dealing with some electrical issues. Cruse and CB were intermittent. So I was determined to fix the problem and tore into the wiring. No problems under the seat so I took off the fairing. Didn't see anything obvious so I just went through each plug - connecting and disconnecting all plugs. Turned on the ignition and voila! it worked. So now I have cruse working - wasn't too concerned about the CB but it's working now too.
So after all that I noticed the old gal was dirty - so I found a self service Car Wash and gave her a bath - she deserved it after hauling me and all my somewhat unnecessary stuff across the country - still looking for a good fishing hole.
