Howdy Folks!
It is unfortunate that I did not get photos of all the fine folks who turned out for the meet and greet in Colorado Springs.
We had a terrific turn-out, and conversation was as good as the food! We talked about a variety of topics ranging from being ambassadors for open carry,
the outrage in Aurora, and much more.
High on the list was the situation whereby different state parks around Colorado will tend to have different rules as pertains to firearms and a citizen's 2a rights.
That is going to be an upcoming topic for discussion on this forum, and we're going to make an effort to encourage elected officals to bring all state parks into compliance with state law and subject to preemption so there is consistency from one state park to every other state park.
As we arrived in Colorado Springs, we stopped to shop then headed out to Cheyenne Canyon to have a little tour of the area. Beyond Helen Hunt Falls is a junction where one could, at one time, take the Gold Camp Road all the way to Cripple Creek. It is blocked off and not available for travel. So we took the High Drive to return to Colorado Springs. As we started on the descent, I saw a plume of smoke in the distance. It was only a slender ribbon of smoke to the northwest of our location, but I called it in to 911 and reported it. I was told they'd already had several calls and emergency response was on the way.
As we made our way to Garden of the Gods Road and Centennial where the meet and greet would take place at the Peak Grill, the fire grew by leaps and bounds.
Here are some photos to show what we witnessed today.
Fortuantely, the fire did not put much of a damper on the mood of those who attended the meet and greet.
I'd like to thank everybody who showed up and let ya'll know that I really appreciated you folks coming out to help promote OC in the Springs.
By now some of you folks can probably guess I am somewhat passionate about our 2a rights, and ready to do my part to help promote OC in Colorado.
Blessings,
