Apparently Zebulon Pike, an ancestor of like 10 generations ago, is the person who discovered Pike's Peak. Trufax.

This is technically my second time seeing the Rockies, although the first time we went through the north end instead of the south and I was less than a year old, so it doesn't count. God, seeing that after about 700 miles of flat farmland was eye candy.

I might. I might be making more stops than I'd originally intended, because this is prettier than even I had imagined.

And I'm in Colorado Springs to see a friend now, I'm gonna be driving up through Denver and then westward to SLC, so I'm going to be able to see the length of them. I planned this trip right.

I would have said more yesterday but the hotel internet there was godawful. I might stay here a day or two though.

Those are on my list, too. I grew up in the Appalachians, which are nice, but nothing compared to the Rockies, and even less to the Andes, Alps, or Himalayas. Still, like I said, it's a sight for sore eyes after nearly two days of indistinguishable flat farmland.
