Cheyenne Mountain State Park
We left White Rock, New Mexico this morning, and drove south at first towards Santa Fe, then followed Interstate 25 north to just south of Colorado Springs, Colorado. We are camped high up on the side of Cheyenne Mountain, just below the NORAD headquarters buried in the mountain. Tonight we can see bright lights not far away from us lighting up the side of the mountain in two spots, so perhaps they are where the access tunnels are located. Hopefully no nuclear war starts tonight, or we are toast!
We went for a short hike when we arrived. It was very warm out today, up to almost 80 F, and though it has cooled off now rapidly, it is still nice out. We had a campfire and burned up our wood tonight as we didn’t want to haul it with us any further, and roasted smoked sausages for supper. It is Enid’s birthday today, so we had the carrot cake we bought yesterday to celebrate.
