Garden of the Gods looked amazing. Hector and Melinda are so talented.😂

[moore__explore]

I'm curious, did Hector and Melinda have anything to do with the moving of the Manitou Cliff Dwellings? 😂 Lovely area!! and as always, great video!👍

[BackroadExploits]

"Actually there is a very cool story about this, this is actually all rebar and concrete", I was like what the hell is Howard talking about and then I got it. LOL. Loved the views and cool place you wouldn't think was relocated! Keep smiling!

Super cool landscapes.
Thanks for sharing. 💖

Great meeting you guys on Friday with the rest of the gang.

All looks amazing! I have no idea how you squeeze in so much in one week. The story of the re-bar & cement 🤣

WINES OF COLORADO... thanks for the intro!!!

My family native danced at the Garden of the Gods. It has a special place in my heart. We also danced at the Penny Arcade in Manitou Springs.

I’m really enjoying your tour of Colorado, I live just north of Denver. Looking forward to your visit to Creede; I went thru there for the first time in June (on a motorcycle) and thought it was awesome👍Cheers:)

[chrisbranham]

Well, you've solidified the fact that I want to drive our Travato to Colorado. It's absolutely gorgeous there. I've only been there in the winter, and have really only spent time in Breckenridge. I see now there are many other places I'd like to visit. Thanks for the great videos every week!

[rvtravel]

Been there numerous times and that place never gets old.

I LOVED THIS VIDEO! Thanks so much for having me revisit Garden of the Gods…it has been many, many years since we’ve visited that area of Colorado. I can tell a LOT of revamping and remodeling of the tourist areas has been done. Unfortunately, I didn’t remember much of it (probably my “advancing age”!), so it was like seeing the area for the first time. Beautiful area! I was wondering…HOW MANY MILES DO YOU HAVE ON YOUR 2018 NAVION NOW? We’ve got to get out more, as we only have a little over 35, 000 on ours! Thanks so much, as-always, Love you guys, Virginia

[jamesclick]

Really enjoyed this one, looks like a fun trip

[CAGDESIGNDEVELOPMENT]

great vid! Technically those dwellings are all fake but some building materials from a collapsed structure in the southwest were shipped up there and used to build these dwellings. It was devised from day one to be a tourist trap.

Hello, new friend BelPhil watching from Belgium 🇧🇪 sending my full support, I connected done to you friend

[Thesaltymedic]

The camp spot looked great and the stump was perfect 😂. The cave dwellings are amazing but at 6’3” I’d probably Knock my head a few times for sure 🪖

Oct. 20. Hope you kids are ok, just busy.

[joannridgway]

I hope you guys are ok missing you .
Maybe your taking time off, but I’m a little concerned ❤❤
