Prehistoric rock formations in the Nebraska prairie. Incredible to behold.

The road to the top.

The city of Scott's Bluff spread out on the plains below.

Looking down on the Scott's Bluff visitor's center from the top

Stunning views from the top of the bluff!

One very, very long freight train (the white dashes across the middle of the picture) crossing the Nebraska plains as viewed from the top of Scotts Bluff, NE.

Driving south from Scott's Bluff, NE on our way to Denver, CO. Panoramic views of beautiful country.

A field of sunflowers in Nebraska.

The state capital building in Cheyenne, Wyoming.

The beautiful ceiling dome in the rotunda.

Our Penny the Pace crosses into her 44th state, Colorado.

This is a mighty big chair. That horse is life-size as is Phil ;-)...

State Capital Building - Denver, Colorado.

Our stop in Denver included a visit with Joy's cousin Jonelle and her family.

L-R= Jonelle's son Dane, Jonelle and Jonelle's son Beau.

Thanks Cuz for the wonderful meals and family time!

On to Colorado Springs, Colorado ...

L-R= Phil, his cousin Carol, her sister Joanie and their mother, Phil's Aunt Marie.

It has been 17 years since he has seen Marie and Carol and even longer since he has seen Joanie.

We hope to come back a little bit soon than that next time.

Lovely ironwork on this gate into town.

Downtown Manitou Springs, CO.

As many times as Phil had been to Colorado Springs he has never been to the top of Pike's Peak.

Here comes the train!

These are the teeth (cogs) that keep us from sliding on the rails.
