The aspens are quaking in Colorado and this is the time of the year to see them. Been on a 7 day road trip to South Dakota, Colorado, Wyoming, and Kansas. Me and the Wife, Ann! Visited the Corn Palace in Mitchell, South Dakota. Hit Wall Drug in Wall, South Dakota. Coffee is still only 5 cents. The high school was celebrating homecoming. They are the Eagles, not the Flowers. As in Wall Flowers !! Drove through the Badlands. Tried to get close to  prairie dogs to get some nice pictures. They took to their holes and I could hear them laughing. Stared at the four faces of Mt. Rushmore. I like Lincoln the best. Drove down to Colorado, through Estes Park, up Big Thompson Canyon, and through Rocky Mountain National Park. Took the cog railroad up to the top of Pike’s Peak. Hiked through the Garden of  the Gods. Beautiful blue skies, cool mornings, warm days, and much sunshine.
