We are soon into Rocky Ford, a small town in the midst of a 'rich agriculture, gardening and seed growing section. We had been climbing?the altitude here is 4. 250 feet.

We were shown some of the seed plats; and at the 10-acres of Zenias the ladies exclaimed in wonder They were allowed to pick one zenia each; and you can imagine what a predicament they were in? a group of Haywood County flow er-loving women in a lCf-acrc field of gorgeous zenias and allowed to pick only one each! "'All aboard!" We settle down for another lap; and as we enter the foothills of the Colorado Rock- j ies we behold the majestic beau-1 t.v of this "red rock" mountainous I region. We hear exclamation after 1 exclamation as we arc whirled around. Now we are near, rather under, a precipilous mountain side I with its rock-clad colors, red, red- ! ish brown, pink and orange, j glistening in the afternoon sun. Or,' maybe, we are winding up again? we reach the top, and lo! what a vista appears; Peculiar rock form ations. hanging boulders?red. red. red, all the hues of red, and only [ hntltcn here and there by clusters of small clinging pines or bunches of cactus and starving grasses? "Wonderful!" our folks exclaim (and be it said to the credit of our women folk, 1 don't think 1 heard the word "cute" used then). Came Out To "Greet Us" Now we are entering Pueblo, Colorado, an pld cattle town. It i now has several large manufac * _ luring industries, steel and smelt ing plants, body works, conerete blocks, etc. As we neared the Win nequa Club house for lunch peo ple were out on the lawn with cars parked about, a club meeting was then in session? "Look bow they've come out to greet us," said "Abner" MehalTey. After a good lunch here < in fact all our meals were very good ex cepting one or two) we were on our way to Royal Gorge, the Colo rado Rockies growing taller, plain er as we journeyed. Royal Gorge! Winding up the scrubby pine and cedar-clad slopes we were soon there. As we alighted from the busses and looked around we real ized that many sight-see-ers from nearly all the states of the Union and a foreign country or two were also there. Now, I know that 1 can not do justice to this place. It's wonders beggar all such. However As we stood on Angel's Trail walk-way (or other observation points) and looked straight down into the gorge where the Arkansas river runs through. 1.055 feet be low. we found ourselves In the presence of an awe-inspiring won der! The Hanging (Suspension) Bridge is an engineering and scenic marvel The large cables support ing it. consist of 4,200 strands of No. f) galvanized wire, which if laid cnd-lo-end, would reach from the Gorge to a point in the Atlan tic beyond New York City, so we were told. Because of vibration, travel across the bridge is slow, being re stricted to 10 miles?the cars com ing and going (two way travel, bumper to bumper the day we were there. The flags of all the states float over the bridge, being placed at intervals on both sides. The observation cable car on the incline railroad runs 2'ii miles per hour and has scheduled trips. They claim it to be "the steepest incline railway in the world." There is room for people to stand on the heavy timbers of both sides of the bridge and look down into the gorge, even as cars go by. As one thus looks down, the river, though swift, seems to be running silently?inaudible because of the depth. Also the Canon City 4 It water main, anchored to the hard, brown granite-rock depths along one side of the river looks to be about 12 inches; and the Denver and Rio Grande standard gauge railroad on the other side looks to be much smaller than - a nar Rprp's famous Maytag washing i J | I performance at a low, low price. ~r-j?i low down do y mo of ij \ M l.borol ?foH*-i?| C*10Q QC | \ ?

Here there seems to be more1, reverence than gaiety; one lias the impression that all, as they look upon this marvel of His handiwork, realize the omnipotence, the pow er?-and the presence of Almighty j God. So, as we looked about us before entering the busses ? and gave credit to man for all his skill, j it seemed to be as nothing compar ed to this; and as wc drove away and saw the last rays of the setting sun fade from the lops of the majestic Rocky peaks, wo thought "What is man. Oh God, (anyway) (hat Thou art mindful of him," ? It was night when we reached Colorado Springs, a clean, beau tiful tourist and health resort city with flnc hotels, all in a pictur esque setting of the nearby Rockies etc. We dined here, after which we were soon on our way to Denver? just as a shower came up-^ "Hope we've had rain at home," said several in (tie group as we scrambled to get on tne busses, Oil To uenver?And Sleep On reaching Denver we were perhaps tired as much troin this day's drive 'Monday! as any. al though the distance traveled was not as great as 011 the first and second days.
