My favorite view was standing on top of Pikes Peak and seeing how small Garden of the Gods looked and then driving to GotG and seeing these huge rocks - Will Hunting Mar 1, 10:03 10
- We did it in the opposite order, but yeah. I do not, otoh, recommend going up pikes peak less than 24 hours after being at sea level. -- nm - znufrii Mar 1, 10:13 8
  - Ouch. You took the tram up? I drove it in late March and was shocked by how much gas I used. And the terror of the edges of the corners. -- nm - Will Hunting Mar 1, 10:24 7
    - Drove. - znufrii Mar 1, 10:28 6
      - Also not the most terrifying drive I’ve done, that award goes to Million Dollar Highway near telluride. -- nm - znufrii Mar 1, 10:30 3
        
        We got the Tail of the Dragon here that’s about as fun. -- nm - Will Hunting Mar 1, 10:31 2
        
        That does look fun. :) -- nm - znufrii Mar 1, 10:35 1
        
        No. Not when you got crotch rockets ripping past or Paul Walker wannabes (multiple ways) tailgating. -- nm - Will Hunting Mar 1, 10:41
      - Well, even at her age, she knew that wasn’t a fun drive. - Will Hunting Mar 1, 10:30 1
        
        The best part was having to pull over after leaving the parking lot and was convinced I was stuck in a gravel ditch. -- (edited) - znufrii Mar 1, 10:32
- I wish we had been able to go up Pikes Peak. Weather wasn't cooperating nor our timing. Sadly we couldn't even really see it because of the clouds -- nm - oblique Mar 1, 10:05
Sorry for the extra posts. Just one pic :) -- nm - oblique Mar 1, 09:57 1
- Nice! -- nm - znufrii Mar 1, 09:59

yeah, I've never seen it like that. Must have been spectacular -- nm - prayformojo Mar 1, 09:54 12
- weird. bery? :) -- nm - oblique Mar 1, 10:00 7
  - I think something went wrong. -- nm - Beryllium Mar 1, 10:06 6
    - woopsie -- nm - decline Mar 1, 10:08
    - So odd that both times it did 3. Was using Edge (chromium) posting from my OneDrive (pic was synced locally) in case it helps diagnose later. -- nm - oblique Mar 1, 10:07 4
      - on a fixed connection or mobile? VPN? -- nm - Beryllium Mar 1, 10:15 3
        
        fixed. I'm at work on our corporate LAN on my desktop. -- nm - oblique Mar 1, 10:16 1
        
        Maybe the corporate firewall is fiddling with the connection and causing it to open multiple connections -- nm - Beryllium Mar 1, 10:24
        
        FWIW I think the reason it didn't succeed at duplicate protection is because the autogenerated upload name is different each time -- nm - Beryllium Mar 1, 10:15
