Our Cruise Home from Vettes on the Rockies | | We made it to Colorado Springs, Co that evening before calling it a night | | | |
Seven Falls, Co Seven Falls cascades 181 feet in seven distinct steps down a solid cliff of pikes peak granite. Crystal clear water from the southern most edges of the Pikes Peak watershed have, over the ages, carved this unique scenic masterpiece in an easily accessed location - click on URL for more info | | | 
| |  | one reason for stopping in Colorado Springs for the night was to take the 12 minute drive out to Seven Falls before heading back to Texas. We got in our stair climbing that morning, all 224 steps up and then back down - awesome views of the waterfall along the way | This tree wasn't big enough to drive a car thru but it had to be one of the largest Ponderosa Pines I have ever seen, estimated at over 400 years old. |  | | | | | |  | 
| gee... we couldn't resist another CCP point - they are everwhere |  | | | | | |
Cruisin' On Home We new that a late start from Seven Falls would put us home late but, it is very hard to leave that beautiful country | | The mountains started fading out of the horizon and the land became flater |  |  | ...they grew fainter and fainter | | | | | |  | A state line marker for another CCP point | Glenda grabbing another CCP point as well, the last for this crusin trip |  |  | a look in the rear view mirror as the sun was setting - it warranted a stop for a better photo |  |  | | | | | | | The McMahan party arrived home in the 1am timeframe on Tuesday morning - getting up to head to work at 5am was a tough one | | |
THE END | | |
