Colorado is simply stunning

Today we followed Scenic Route 112 , beginning on the High Plains of eastern Colorado, through the San Isabel National Forest and crossing the 9,000 foot Cuchara Pass.  Sunshine, sunshine...par for the course in these parts.  Route 112 is the Highway of Legends, a 120 mile round trip circling the Spanish Peaks, and the dikes which surround them (remnants of ancient volcanoes).  Interesting geology, beautiful vistas, charming adobes, timberframe homes, and ranches of cattle and ponies at the foot of peaks.  STUNNNN...ing!  Alas, both camera batteries died, so we'll take clips from our video.

Y'all come back now, ya hear?
