Sadly, I have a previous commitment for this timeframe. This area is outstanding and we would have liked to have seen it again.

How is the agenda coming along?

I looked at most of the websites above and would love to go to them all.

I might have to stay in the area a few more days.

Hey, when we get to the money museum, let's ask if we get free samples! I'll bet they never hear that!

It all sounds great... I've been there before and it's really beautiful country. One suggestion is on Saturday afternoon how about going from the Royal Gorge Bridge to Cripple Creek. It's only about 50 miles and is a nice, curvy highway thru the mountains and should be a lot of fun. Also, Cripple Creek is an old mining town and has some casinos for those who like to gamble some. They may have a good place to eat dinner also.

If we get near Cripple Creek, I want to stop in Victor for about 10 seconds so I can say I was there. LOL

I have an aunt who lives in Denver and we visited quite a few of the sites listed. Quite spectacular scenery. I hope I can get the chance to go to the gathering. I would also suggest visiting Red Rock. Maybe with any luck there'll be a great concert going on that weekend.
