ALONG THE WAY

Castle Rock, Colorado
This is a huge rock on the top of isolated mountain.
We ate our lunch near the foot of it on our way to
Colorado Springs


Antique Shop
This was on the San Luis Mountain /ValleyPass. We needed a
break and a place to eat lunch (in the MH). We went inside which
was a lot less messy, than outside. The lady asked us where
we were from. She told us that her son went to Union Colleg
in Schnectady and that he wasn't going to return to Colorado,
so she was selling the shop and going to move to NYS, but
didn't know where. Larry told her he had a house for sale in the
ADK's. She's interested and took down all the information.
I bought a small restaurant creamer/pitcher here for my collection


Great Sand Dunes National Park
The Great Sand Dunes are the tallest sand dunes in North America.
Some of their heighths are up to 750 feet. They cover about 30 sq.
miles. You can climb them, but we only walked out part way to
them. They continue to change by the hour. The wind is blowing
constantly. The sand is very fine and is constantly changing the
the ridges, gullies etc and even the flat sandy part.

We were walking here. The wind is constantly changing
the design on the sand. I was thinking how much my grand
kids would love to climb on these..my kids would too.

I grew up going to the Dunes on Lake Michigan and have great memories of climbing to the top of the Dunes and running and jumping (nearly flying) down them.
We used to say the dunes were alive because they were constantly moving. You are right...the kids would love them....I know I did...and our kids loved them when we took them back to our old stomp'n ground!
