    Bill is back from the west but is already heading west on another adventure. This time, in addition to the real reason for my trip (to help 2 friends and visit several others) I'm also going to attempt to make it into Oklahoma, a state I've never visited before, and to find at least one geocache there.

    Went up Pike's Peak Railway today! Great trip and well worth it. The Railway is the way to go.

    • Loading Up On the train, people still boarding. Just about ready to depart.
    • Going Up Yes, the train is going up there!
    • Still Going Up Still Climbing, now above treeline. Yes, that diagional line ahead is part of the Cog Railway.
    • Tram & Me At the Top The train has gone as far as it can go. We're not quite to the top, but it isn't far away.
    • At the top I'm standing on what I think is the top, looking down at my friend. There are actually several places where the rocks seem higher than those around them and each pile seems to be about the same height. The one I'm standing on may or may not be the highest one, I'm not sure, but my head is higher than any other rock pile at this point. We thought of piling a few more rocks at this point to make it clearly the top.

    Kevin and I went up the St. Louis Arch on our way to Colorado. The pictures and their captions tell the story.

    • We're going up there?!? Looking up from the base of the arch, this thing looks quite formitable. And inside that steel triangle is a set of pods hanging from a track like seats in a ferris wheel that will take us to the top.
    • "Open the pod bay doors, Hal" There's nobody standing next to these doors to show the scale of their size, they're about 5 feet tall. Most people except for children need to bend over to get inside.
    • Inside at the Top The triangular shape of the arch means you have to lean over to look out the narrow windows. The arch sways gently even in gentle winds.
    • Downtown St. Louis Finally, what we've come all this way for, a nice view of Downtown St. Louis
    • The Arch has a Shadow It would have been cool to go back down and look closely at the shadow to see it move as the arch itself sways. But it got cloudy before we got to the bottom.
    • Afraid of Heights? A view straight down shows there's not much directly below the viewing area.

    Visited Washington DC briefly before taking the Metro to my friend's place in Maryland. He's moving to Colorado, and I'm going with him for the ride. This will be an adventure.
