Colorado Springs: The Top of the World and Other Earthly Wonders (Sept 9-12, 2021)

Remember when I said I found myself being really depressed and sort of brain dead last year? Well, I've had a draft of this blog for exactly a year sitting around. Started on 9/25/2021, finished, I guess tonight. 

I always like to get my vacations written down soon after I get back so I don't forget some of the smaller details of where we went and what we saw. Luckily, I wrote a lot of bullet points, but let me fill you in on the vacation I took a year ago. From now on, it will be from the perspective of me, in 2021. 

I went to Colorado Springs a few weeks ago. 

I didn't know what to expect, but I didn't expect it to be so much of a desert. Just 90 minutes north is Denver, a city with gray mountains and cloud coverage. 90 minutes south, a desert, with strange natural wonders scattered throughout the dusty landscape.
