Have you ever visited Colorado Springs? Or, perhaps, lived there? Done any of the touristy stuff like visit the Garden of the Gods, taken a train up Pike's Peak, or done the Cheyenne Mountain Zoo?
If so, you'll enjoy this September, 2000 report from Dr. Mercury over at Maggie's Farm which tells his tale of adventure from a visit to Colorado Springs.
Having been there several times and had experiences that were virtually identical to these, I can vouch for Dr. Mercury's accuracy of conditions. One caveat, however: since 2000 the roads around Colorado Springs have become even more confusing--and crowded.
But, damn! I want to go back.
(On a side note, I see he left out visits to the Air Force Academy and Rodeo Hall of Fame and Museum. Perhaps he saved those for a later time.)

I haven't been there since '77 ... and after reading of the roads & directions situation, perhaps I shan't be going back any time soon.
