We spent one day in Colorado Springs with my niece Pam, who had been dog sitting for us while we were on our epic adventure. We spent a couple of days getting reacquainted with our poor, confused dog. We did spend one day exploring the Garden of the Gods drive-thru tour with Pam while we were in Colorado Springs. We spent a few hours driving around the park until nightfall, then we headed back to the camper for the night. At this point in our adventure, we were starting to be anxious to return home, and the appeal of nature was wearing thin. Garden of the Gods is a beautiful park, but we didn't even bother to take many pictures of it. And we had our dog back with us, who slept fitfully that first night with us in the camper.
