Part of the 2026-07 Colorado — July 18–26.

Back to Colorado Springs by way of Pueblo. Took a lot of car window photos, walked around the train station, headed out. Also stopped in downtown CS. Warm afternoon. Watched a baseball game with Mark, had Whole Foods kebabs and rice for dinner. Slept pretty well. Will be good to get back to my bed at sea level though.
