Part 3 - MANY pictors ahead - you can cliky to bigify.
After that long drive an a few extra naps, we went to pike peek. I was reely lookin forward to watchin fish, efun if I could only peek at them. Wul, there weren't any fish, but there was anofur train (one wif 3 tracks!) that we rode up furry high to where there was no plants or trees an it was furry cold an hard to breathe. I fink we went around the corner to winter, but the view was amazin.
First, there was lotsa trees nearby, but huge rocks all round us. A little kitty could get losted in there!
Then we gots higher an could see fur miles in all directions... cept there was mountains in the way.
Our trained monster kept going up an up an up, efun when I thot we'd fall off!
When we got passed the trees, there were lotsa rocks. You fink that's why they're the rocky mountains?
What a strange place to build a house! You can see the track where we'd been.
So many layers of mountains, how would we find the pike peek we was lookin for?
Since that's where we'd headed, the pike peek must be up there, sumwhere.
FINALLY we sawed a critter! I waved an mewed at that cat an a few ofurs we passed, but they ignored us!
Mom said that they's marmots an efurry marmot in the area goes on a treck once in its lifetime to see the metal stream an the big red monsters that move along it.
This must be the end of the line!
WOW, that's a long way down. The trained monster stopped (whew!) so's we could walk round an see the view.
What a view! An it was reely cold - see the snow? Luckily, there was a house we cud go in to buy stuff like t-shirts an oxygen an hot cocoa. Still no pike!
Maybe that sign asplains it, but I's still confused. I gotted a little dizzy up there, too. Where're the fish?
Back on the trained monster, we started down the mountain. I hope it holds on reel good! There's also a road sum beans drive on to go up there, an sum efun walk or run all the way. They's crazy, tho, cuz the trained monster nefur slipped an didn't take as long.
Mom said that's Collar-ado Springs down there. Hi Emmy, Meeko, Kiara! Up here! I hope they saw me wave.
I was glad to see trees agin, but the cottony sky thingys was getting bigger an darker all the way down.
I don't know how, but we met anofur monster on its way up. Now you can see what my monster an the ofur one look like. I was ascared they'd fite or at least hiss, but no.
This is wear the trained monsters live at the bottom of the mountain. I still didn't get to peek at any pike, but they's got tiny fev-vers!
Mr Station Master puts this feeder out fur the hummers.
Naturlly, afur that we had lunch.
Whew! This post was lotsa werk. I better get sum naps afore I try to finish this day of the trip. That's right, efun after ridin a trained monster to the top of a mountain, we did MORE grate stuff that day! Wul, ok, mostly we drove, but the places we saw were amazin.
[Pleeze note that mine mom's been huntin at werk a lot more than yousual, makin it reely hard to werk on the blog. Bonnie an I are fine an we don't know why that plant jumped off the counter.]
Wowee! B-e-a-utiful pictures! That collar-ado spurrings one was really nice.
ReplyDeleteWe gotta little dizzy tho just lookin at some of 'em! Thats WAAAAYYYY up and a LONNNNG way down!

Oh, beautiful pictures. We want to go on vacation also. Anly problem is we don't like the car!
ReplyDeleteWow those are some great pictures. Sounds like you guys have been having a blast. Take care of yourselves while mommy is working, and make sure you are not standing underneath any plants when they jump off the counter. I would't want you guys to get hurt.
ReplyDeleteWow, weve nevur travulled like yoo guys. That luks amazing.
ReplyDeleteAs fur the plant...tell yer mom that we have jumping plants too!
What excellent pictures. A very nice vacation. We don't have any plants that jump, but a lot of other things jump onto the floor when they see Catzee coming.
ReplyDeleteWow, those are great pictures. My mum has seen the Rockies but not the bit in Colorado. Your humans must have loved that train ride because we know they like trains. My humans have ridden on some trains like that in Switzerland and Austria.
ReplyDeleteWow. Sounds like you had a great vacation. And you weren't stuck in a Box like I would've been. I love the pictures. I just wish I could've snuck along with you. My humans never do anything that exciting.
ReplyDeleteWow that's excitement ~Merlin, Shadow, KO kO
ReplyDeleteLove the picts ~Poi Mom Jane
The photos are amazing, Bonnie and Victor! The clear, blue skies, the rocks, and the mountain tops: simply gorgeous. Your photos made me feel like I was right back there again with Meeko and Kiara!
ReplyDeleteI'm so glad you two had a fun time. It sounds like quite the adventure indeed!
Victor:
ReplyDeleteThat hummingbird looked delicious. Yum!
I noticed that both you and Bonnie have "profiles" on your blog. Mom tried helping me to put all of the Feline Americans on my blog, but we couldn't get multiple profiles to work. How did you two manage it? The boys have been buggin' me a lot and I wanna put their profiles up (just to stop them from squawking at me). Any guidance would be great.

Surprise Victor!
ReplyDeleteOh Luna it is so good to see you posting again.
ReplyDeleteVictor you were so brave to go on the trained whatever. Looks like you went up so high. Sorry you never did get to see the Pike though. I would have like to know what it was. Sure got a lot of beautiful pictures though. So glad you enjoyed your trip.

ReplyDeleteWe thought we just wrote something but it seems to have disappeared .... You two have really been off having adventures and seeing some beautiful places (not that Whiskonsin isn't beautiful) None of us have ever seen mountains. Albertaa and Sky both knew "one of us who went before" who was born in Colorado and told them all about the gorgeous sunsets in the mountains. Weren't you scared to be up so high? -- Alberta, Sky, Blackie and Charlie
