      It’s almost like there’s some giant target on the truck that just randomly appears! 😫 He’s actually a really good driver and absolutely no drinking ever involved (or at least with us…can’t be so certain with the other drivers!)!! It just so infuriating when drivers don’t pay attention! Now, to add no insurance for the last person that caused the accident 🤬 Thanks though for watching and commenting!

    My family lived in Estes Park back in the early 1970's. I met a guy who was working on the tram, he was helping them get the snack bar opened up for the summer season, I was still in high school. He could see the high school parking lot from up there and would watch to see when I left school in my 1966 Mustang and we would all meet downtown at Bob & Tony's. He would ride the tram down and meet me there too. In May 2024, we celebrated our 50th wedding anniversary. Estes Park and the tram have always been very special to me. We now live in Loveland CO, just about 25 miles from Estes and we go up there quite often. This was fun watching you all enjoy it for the first time

That looked like such a great trip in the rocky mountains you guys had a great time with Joel and Tanya playing in the snow looked fun. Wow an open air tram I am shocked and its graat to show Ron these because he doesnt get my height panic attacks. Oh boy on our cruise at one of our ports we did another tram 3rd one this year and i thought i would be fine i even said i am getting better at this but nope i had a full blown embarrassing panic attack wasnt expecting it but Ken did well!
