| Miramont Castle |
We drove up to see Tom and Mary Ann who had moved up to Manitou Springs for a week before moving on to the northwest. We loved driving through the area called "Old Colorado City" which is a historic district in Colorado Springs. It was an artsy looking area with cute outside cafes. It looks a lot like Manitou Springs just not as crowded. I want to come back here and spend a day just walking and seeing the sights.
I had read about the Miramont Castle online and wanted to see it. Lo and behold, an old friend is the manager there, small world! It was great seeing Donita again and the castle was interesting and has been restored beautifully. The Castle has a colorful history so it was great getting to see it. Tom and Mary Ann fixed us a wonderful spaghetti lunch and a relaxing time visiting with them before heading back to Canon City.
As we were leaving Garden of the Gods RV Park I noticed what appeared to be smoke over Pike's Peak and as we drove down 115 the smoke became more obvious. After getting home we found out that there is a new wild fire at Lake George on 24 west of Colorado Springs. Praying for the firefighters and the people with homes and businesses in the area!
