Road Trip #4 Day 3 (part 1) - The Road to The Wall

August 19, 2012
Colorado USA

We rolled out this morning with the intent of riding up to Cripple Creek one more time. We had jacket temps but sunny skies. First stop was The Donut Shop in Woodland Park where Tim ordered the biggest item (cinnamon roll) in the case. I had a chocolate/Bavarian crème fix. The donuts and coffee were OK, but we have had much better. The ride up to Cripple Creek was about as fine as it gets. Lucky us! We get to make one of our favorite rides three times in three days.

Cripple Creek was rumbling early but today was a ride on through to the high school where the Traveling Vietnam Wall was set up. Today we paid our respects to the fallen with a special nod on behalf of our friends to Pascal C Poolaw 1922-1967, US Army and Gary C Johnston 1948-1970, US Army. We were disappointed that the Gulf War Memorial was not present because this is an American Veteran's Rally not strictly a Vietnam Veterans Rally (not sure what is up with that).
