Visiting the “Springs”

After leaving Creede we planned to stop by Colorado Springs. I noticed that by going a bit out of our way, we could visit our good Cru Staff friends, the Lorenzens. We did that and had a great time.

            A short drive from the Tarryall River Valley and we were in Colorado Springs, home to our friends the Larimores. We remembered visiting the Garden of the G^ds, from our trip 24 years earlier. So after dinner with the Larimores and the McGees who were also visiting, we got a good night’s sleep and headed out.

            We took a tour and got to see some great sights.

            After our time in the Garden, we visited the Focus on the Family studio where we ran into a young family that had just left the dairy business to join Cru Staff in AR. They were headed to Cru 19 and we ran into them twice in Ft. Collins.

          Walt wanted to take us to the grill with the "best burgers" he's ever tasted. We drove to a little hole-in-the-wall type place right next to a bar that sold marijuana. Good placement for bar patrons with the "munchies".  I must admit, Dr. Walt nailed it. It was the BEST burger I have eaten...to date.
