1. Pike's Peak and Garden of the Gods...

My childhood memories. :) Back in the '50s when I lived there, they used to have these "chuckwagon dinners" in the Garden of the Gods, that were set up like the old west, with beans and barbecue for everyone, and really corny entertainment. Waiting in line there one time with my parents, I witnessed my first epileptic seizure -- scared the hell out of me. Other memories - the Easter sunrise service. Are those three crosses still there? One other time we went to an outdoor symphony there of the 1812 Overture with actual booming cannons. Wow!

Thanks for the memories, F. I hadn't thought about that stuff in a long time.
