Nice drive up to Loveland today (good roads and twisties), the Benson Sculpture Garden was excellent, good lunch with nice people. I figured about 105 miles from the Costco parking lot then back to my area.

Hopefully Kendall will post an updated note with all the attendees names. I had a great time being the tail and driving scooter in the middle. That was a long line of cars coming down from Estes when we turned right onto 34.

I plan on uploading some pictures later to my picasa area. I enjoyed my first 5280.org event.

Thank you and a 'toast' to new friends. (Spring Water, of course)!

Added this one picture, tonight...

 

Thanks Don! It was a nice drive.

The other people there were:

Mary & Mark - Chilli Red/White w/stripes
Jen & John & Dorian & Friend (sorry, forgot his name) - Chilli Red/Black

It was also a great day for a picnic, really mellow in the shade.

I'll post again when I have pictures ready.

 

Thank you all for fun drive. It is amazing how much cool stuff is so close that you never know existed. We are going to go back up there and spend some more time enjoying the park, this time WITH a camera .

Looking forward to next event!

-Jon, Jen , Dorian, and nameless friend (Asa)

 

What happens when you meet people for the first time? You forget or get the name wrong or at least I do.

A couple of albums for viewing.

LOL so true. it took me 3 months to learn Jen's first name.... Kept introducing her as Specialist Serpa.

Those pics turned out really well, there were quite a few statues that I missed somehow.

Hi everyone, I finally have my gallery up from the ride - there's more stuff past the first page as well if you like sculpture pictures (Don had a lot of great ones!):

I added that and Don's galleries to our MINI 5280 Photos pager here:

Along with a link to Google maps describing our ride (you may have to use the link on the Photos page, don't know if the forum can handle it):

http://maps.google.com/maps?f=d&hl=e...UTF8&z=12&om=1

 

Link worked great - enjoy the map!

 

Thanks for building the 5280 photo pager additions, nice set of pictures, you caught some good moments along the drive. Map is great, I will be able to retrace some of the route with Pat.

The leg up to Carter Lake and to Horsetooth Res. is worth a repeat later this summer and in the fall.

Really good drive.
