Pike's Peak

PIKE’S PEAK – (14,000 feet + )

Shallow stream
    Across the mountain path
Along the sand and pebbles
    meandering…

Rest stop
    and just off the trail
        then WAY off …Kansas!

Michelle Mac Donald May 7, 2012 at 8:52 PM "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 :)

Leo Larry Amadore May 6, 2012 at 11:28 AM Nicely done...reminds me of trips through the area in the late sixties...through mountains then the flattest of lands stretching eastward...good job.
