We had a fantastic cruise day today. Probably the highlight for all of us (and one we'll never forget) was the drive on Skyline Drive above Canon City. I can safely say that it definitely kept our attention all the way thru. I found a site that has some good info and a great video. Check it out here:
 
 
The video shown is accelerated and we didn't be travel that fast. It is a one way, one lane road with NO railings and the speed limit is only 15mph.

Agreed. This was one of the coolest, most exciting things I've ever done! My son had just fallen asleep a few minutes before we got there. When I saw the view I had to wake him. He was glad I did!

Hey Guys,
Nice pictures and a great video of Skyline Drive.  It looked like you were really going fast on that skinny little road :)

Thanks for sharing,
John

Larry,
Thanks for sharing this video. While driving I just kept my eyes on the road and did not do much looking over the edge.  This was one of the highlights of the gathering.

Larry,
Thanks for posting.
Now I can look over the edge and see what I missed.
Cool videos.
