We needed a vehicle that could handle the climb in altitude as we made our way to the Broadmoor Fishing Camp at 8,800 feet. My friend drove as I watched the scenery change outside the window. The green valley of Colorado Springs gave way to boulders that momentarily in passing resembled a man’s stoic profile. The aspens were in mid-splendor, with gradients of moss green at the bottom gently blending into mustard yellow up top.

    Flick? I think it would be a relaxing spectator sport. Fun to watch in that beautiful area but no need to get wet. Sure sounds like a trip to add to our dream list. Wonderful.
