Pueblo to Colorado Springs
We explored Pueblo during the day.
In the evening we headed north to Cheyenne Mountain State Park and camping in our van. We saw signs saying to look out for wildlife but did not see any animals. Our first little bit of culture shock happened here- two things. One thing was the price of camping in a State Park in Colorado. We spent $56 CDN per night to camp and then add a Park entry fee of about $11 CDN per day. Kind of pricey I would say. There were no campground hosts to answer questions, nor were the camp bathrooms very clean. It was, however, convenient to book a site on-line. We also saw that the large majority of campers were in RV’s not tents, etc. Our second cultural shock was seeing so many drugged out people either in restaurants or along roadways. They were obviously homeless carrying their worldly possessions with them. Sad to see something like that during breakfast, my heart went out to those girls.

We explored Colorado Springs. We made sure to eat our breakfast in the more upscale Wholefoods. Spring has just come to this area as you can see from the leaves budding on the trees.
