"Pike's Peak" is such a high elevation, Daver. Sounds like a pleasant place to head up to though. "Kansas!" Dorthy's Kansas? Click your heels Daver, you'll be there in a flash. Love you, Mikki :)

Nicely done...reminds me of trips through the area in the late sixties...through mountains then the flattest of lands stretching eastward...good job.
