WEEK 3

 

DAY 18

DAY 18 - JULY 22
     We woke up early at Buena Vista just in time to see the sun light up those five 14,000 foot mountains.  It was about as beautiful as it gets.

     Our drive took us east through a series of mountain ranges and high plains as we made our way towards Pikes Peak and Colorado Springs.  This drive gave us an additional appreciation for how diverse Colorado is.  We made it to Colorado Springs and visited Garden of the Gods and the visitor center.  We then found the site of the IAFF Firefighter Memorial, which unfortunately was in the middle of being completely rebuilt and expanded so we could not fully appreciate it yet.  A visit to the Colorado Springs FD and museum was cool as well.

     Spent the night in Colorado Springs... 118 miles for the day, 4,272 miles trip to date.

Garden of the Gods in Colorado Springs was spectacular.

We went to Colorado Springs to visit the IAFF Fallen Fire Fighter Memorial.
Unfortunately our timing was off and we were unable to see what we came for
because the site is being completely rebuilt

This is what the rebuilt IAFF Memorial will look like when completed

 

So far, so good.  It has already been a great trip and its only half done.
