    So the crazy thing about this video (I watched it last night) is, I work in an Antique Store and my husband came for a brief visit yesterday. One of the very few things I pointed out to him, by saying, "there's something you don't see everyday" was a pair of wooly chaps!! It was like deja vu watching this!

    My son went to the Air Force Academy in Colorado Springs, and I have not been in the area for 25 years, and your tour showed me just how different Manitou Springs is now. I loved it back then, but several years ago, they had massive flooding that caused quite a bit of damage, and I assume that is where all the newer buildings are. Old Colorado City is similar too. So many places to tour in that area, it really takes a couple of weeks to take it all in. I hope you can plan some time to bring the family to COS and enjoy all the wonderful attractions and landscape.

      @jenniferwarhawk7301 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      @@PeterStawicki Weird. I'll be honest, I've never drank from it myself so I shouldn't say I think it's awful. But my son has and he said it was so bad that he spit it out. After that, I've never had the guts to try it. Ok, I never had the guts long before him. It's clear how many minerals are in the water by the condition of the spout. But after my son spit it out I definitely had no desire after that. We both love San Pelligrino.

Also, attended a NASCAR race at the now defunct speedway. It was a lovely place to visit and if I had the means, would love to live there. It doesn't look like much has changed in seventeen years.
