Song of the American Road -- Purple Mountains Majesty

VIEW FROM SUMMIT OF PIKES PEAK, COLORADO
Wonderful views may be had from top of this famous mountain.  Early morning scenes are especially interesting, when the surrounding low-hanging clouds make one feel "you are walking on a cloud."



7/28/70  Hi Folks, Thank you for good time you showed us while there.  Arlene and Jerry sure showed us a good time also.  Drove to top of Pikes Peak today.  Be here yet tomorrow and start home.  Write more soon.  Love Margaret, Aaron, and kids.

NO. 54 CEREMONIAL CAVE, CAYON RITO DE LOS FRIJOLES, N.M. (LITTLE RIVER OF THE BEANS)
Scientists reconstructed view of community house and kiva, as used by the prehistoric dwellers of this once populous village of an unknown tribe of Indians.
Situated high up in the walls of the canyon under an overhanging cliff, 100 feet above the river, their only method of access was by hand and toe holds imbedded in the rock.

No mention of the Mighty Ducks, I see. (tu-tu-TUUUUU; tu-tu-TUUUUUUUUUU; tu-tu-tu; tu-tu-tu; tu-tu-TUUUUUH....) (That was Taps.)

I was asleep , but I know the DH was cheering for LSU. He, however, has no powers.

He must have few powers indeed, if he was cheering for LSU last night. They played last Friday.

I am very pleased with the Duckies. They had a marvelous season.
