Allright guys, even though I'm just 40, I want to put a word of advice to you:

Even when getting out old pictures' boxes and scanning seems such a good idea, it will positively bring you some sadness.

just curious, do any of you have any old pictures near any landmarks?
Does the Royal Gorge qualify as a landmark? ;)
 
Another way to see the gorge.  Army Sgt. Ken Fuller free rapelled down 1053 feet to the bottom.  There is a sign on the bridge.  He told us about it when he visited our home in MI.

I like my women a little big. Natural. Now, they shave this and wax that. It's not right. I love natural women. Big women. This trend in women has to go. Bulomia, anorexia. That's just wrong.

after some "backyard" improvements

I fixed this photo in Photoshop but it was taken from a magazine,
 or it was in some kind of plastic covering.

If you want to save it, just drag the larger version to your desktop.

I had to go back and make sure I hadn't posted this one on this thread before. 1979, after the 3000 mile ride to CO, back home in San Luis Obispo:
