I lived in Colorado Springs for 3 years when I was in the Army what a great state.
I wish I still lived out there. I didn't find out till I got back or I would checked it out.
If you guys can find the time go check out Estes Park. Here is a link.
www.estesnet.com Check out the Stanley Hotel
This is where they made The Shining at. Guess there a lot to do up there.
Or you could go a little south and drive up Pikes Peak.
Either way I would like to warn you don't just go out and be crazy. Adjust yourself
to the altitude this can and will make you sick. Drink lots of water and sun screen. Yes you can get burn in the winter.
Maybe you been there before and know this, but I didn't when I first got there and wished I did.
Either way it will be a great trip man I wish I could make it back there. I'd leave today if I could.
