June 11, 2014 Colorado Springs and Friends

After saying our “see you laters” to Bruce and Sue, we headed east following the Arkansas River:

The Arkansas River headed south near Canon City and we headed north shortly thereafter.  Notice the topography changes:

We arrived at the Elks in Colorado City and got their last hookup (water and electric) site – Yea!.  One of the main reasons we are here is to reconnect with some long time friends – Ann and Norlyn – who we have not seen since our trip in 1997.

So later afternoon, we all got together and got caught up – what a great time.  We had dinner at a local restaurant – the Hogan.
