We are spending the night in Canon City, Colorado tonight. We hope to see Royal Gorge, Pikes Peak, Focus on the family before we leave this area. We had rain today as we traveled here. This was the first rain we have had on our whole trip! It was rather foggy here this eve, so we aren't sure what we will be able to see. A waitress told us it is to rain all weekend. As we went up a mountain today, we had 70 degrees at the bottom, when we reached the top (about 1/2 hr) we had 41 degrees!! That was a change. We will need to wait and see what happens tomorrow. We spoke with alot of folks back home today. Our prayers are still flying for Rich and Sharon and the girls.
This was a very pretty sight. In driving from Utah to Colorado,one town had pots of flowers like this on either side of the street. Mel started counting them and thought it was about 150 big pots on one side of the street!!
A view of the "Bridal Veil Falls".This was along the road. Very pretty
Before the concert began. The choir went up on stage and the orchestra was preparing. This was so worth hearing!!! It was a wonderful eve out under the stars. It was cool enough that we wore our light jackets and also had a blanket around us. Some folks even had gloves on.
Waiting for the concert to begin. We brought our small cooler and had our drink and things to eat with us. It was interesting sitting and talking to others around us.
We attended the Mormon Tabernacle Choir and the Utah Symphony Concert at Deer Valley, Ut last night (Fri)People are gathering for the concert. We needed to bring our lawn chairs (low) could have a picnic basket. It was fun.

I stumbled onto your BLOG and it brought back all the memories of this grandma (along with grandpa) and our trip from Ohio to the western US last summer. The pictures are much the same. We took a slightly different route than you, but the blessings and the awe-inspiring view of God's creation are just as you describe. Thank you for the BLOG.
Wish I had been blogging last summer, it would certainly have made it easier to catalog the over 1,000 pictures I took!
I talked to Carson this morning and told him you got to hear the choir. he said,"I'll bet that was really something!" Sure hope the weather is nice enough that you can see the Peak. Are you driving up or by train? Be safe.
