Royal Gorge and some eye candy…

Here are a few shots that I took at Royal Gorge, Colorado which is located about 50 miles west of Pueblo, Colorado.  While visiting Margie’s grandmother, aunt, and uncle in Pueblo, we decided to make a quick day trip to see the sites surrounding this impressive landmark.  I believe it is the world’s highest suspension bridge, resting about 1000 feet above the Arkansas river.  I quickly lost interest in taking pictures because it was so cold and windy, but the views really are amazing.  The temperature was in the upper 20s, and those 30mph gusts made for a nippy wind chill…not too mention a notable swinging motion to the bridge when we were on it.

These next few pics are the “eye candy” of the post.  Margie’s uncle “Ronnie” has restored three vintage Italian Ducati motorcyles.  Two of them are racing bikes, one of which is a red ’69 450cc M3. He really did a great job with them, and has even won some awards for his work on them.
