Part Two.
So, I need a new car. I guess my engine is going to die pretty soon. It bums me out a little because I have put too much money into this car as is. Also, I just paid it off three months ago! My plan was to drive it into the ground and save some money. I mean, I guess I followed that course of action. But it was supposed to take longer than three months.
Oh, well. These things happen.
Here are some more pictures of the trip to Colorado.
I don't know who this old dude is. But he is in a cave. More importantly, he is in the Cave of the Winds located in Manitou Springs, Colorado. Caves, much like mountains, are pretty cool.
Our cave tour guide, A.J., was awesome. He had a pony tail and a very soft voice. He also told some good jokes. The rope ladder in this picture is over 100 years old, according to A.J.
These are stalactites. They are called that because they "hang tight to the ceiling". Conversely, stalagmites are called such because "you might trip over them". By the way, those are both direct quotes from A.J.
This is what a cave looks like. This particular cave is also a nuclear fallout shelter.
This particular formation looks like Davy Jones from Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest.
This is known as the Asian Garden. Apparently, it's SO KAWAII! ^_^
More of these guys.
You know, a $2,500 fine is in order for anyone who touches or removes any type of cave growth or formation. I think I owe like $15,000.
This was taken at the Royal Gorge located in Canon City, Colorado. You can get a "slopper" in Canon City. My dad did at a restaurant called "Wing Dingers". That place was awesome. Best wings I have ever had.
Joe, age 14, looks strangely contemplative here. To get the bottom of the Royal Gorge you have to take an elevator/tram down. It just looks like a cage. Joe said, "They put us in cages?!"
This is what it looks like at the bottom. It's a thousand feet to the top.
At the bottom, you get to see the Arkansas River. My dad swears he touched the river before. But he is just a big liar.
My dad and my brothers being nice to each other. Weird. Does not compute.
You can see a small entrance in the center of this picture. It is rumored that a wild coyote lives in there and only comes out when the moon is full. I just made that up.
This is a shot from the Royal Gorge Bridge, the highest suspension bridge in the world. You can walk across it. We did. But cars can also drive over it, which is a little unnerving because the bridge is built out of wooden planks.
Looking down 1,053 feet from the bridge.
Well, we are standing on the bridge. Joe looks really angry, which is completely normal.
Here are some bison.
I am standing on a rock at the bottom of Seven Falls. This was actually my favorite place we went. But I don't have all the pictures from that day.
This is the last picture I am posting today. Possibly, forever. There are still, like, 20 pictures. Including an awesome one of an old guy in pink shorts that my dad took. But my uncle needs to send them to me. Until then, this is it.
If you looked at these, I hope it wasn't too boring. If it was, I apologize.
