Here are a few pics from the top of Pikes Peak:

The cog train, tracks, and a view:

14,110 feet up. Many of us were effected with the thin air (headaches for me, dizzyness for others). It was a great view and a great ride.

Those are great pix ... thanks Bruce ... I can't wait to see how my first photo lesson with Kathy at the Academy turned out ...

The pictures of the Chapel are wonderful - I was so surprised to see that the Chapel had separate areas for Catholic, Protestant, Jewish, Buhtist .... and the Memorial Wall .... wow ... and the group picture even shows how WINDY it was that day ... haha, who would have ever thought that a gust of wind could blow Ray UP the steps! What a fun day that was ...

Thanks for the memories ...

Great Photos

Great pics, Bruce/Kathy,

The chapel at the academy is beautiful - I remember visiting it while on tour with my college concert choir in the mid 80's.

You all sound like you had a fantastic time - wish we could have been there. I think that each and every event brings more of us XLR owners together and our "drives" just get better and better. I'm really looking forward to seeing more pics - and meeting some of the ones that joined you in Colorado (that I haven't met yet) on upcoming drives. This is the BEST group of people I know!

You won't have far to go, John. We talked during the Colorado trip and it sounds like Charleston, SC could be next years adventure. Sorry you didn't make this one, it was well worth the drive.

First Robin & Silverstreak provided local hospitality and tour guidance. Thanks to all who made the trip so grand!!

I hope you and Jean get to join us in 2011. I'm sure you'll have fun with this group. We'll keep you posted on when and where.
