Day 11: Wednesday May 13 Pikes Peak Colorado

We stayed at Pikes Peak RV Park. Very nice, couple owned. They stayed an hour past check in for us and they personally guide everyone into their designated spots. ( I suppose that helps keep the damage to the sites at a minimum) Our site was up against the creek so we had beautiful creak sounds to lull us to sleep for two nights.

Pikes peak is over 14k feet, however, due to nasty
weather conditions on the peak, the top portion of the road was closed and we could only go up to about 12k feet.




I suppose that might account for why we didn't see bigfoot.

We did get to see some beautiful scenery

 

and some interesting rock formations;

can you see the sleeping (winking)dragon in this picture ?

It was a great day out. We ended up with a couple of hours before Daryl's Flight and we noticed there was a Distillery nearby, Stanahan's.  We thought they did tours, and they did but not until 3 pm which is when Daryl needed to be at the airport so we couldn't wait, but because we had come all the way out there, let us go ahead and taste the whisky they make. It was very smooth, we bought coasters. heh

After dropping Daryl off at the airport, I hit the projects list. I went to the store and bought a wall mounted coat rack, a white board, and a wall mounted clock. The coat rack is awesome. Now when we come into the trailer there is somewhere to hang coats and let them drip dry onto the mat below. The clock is a digital one, supposed to have an alarm and show the temperature and day.The clock had to go back.  I don't know why, but the display doesn't show up so well inside the r-pod. That and the second hand is soooo loud at night when you are trying to sleep!
