This collection had to be worth a fortune.
What was weird for Bill was he went to high school
with a kid named 'Harold Warp' and at some point
he realized this stuff belonged to HIM!

The exhibits were set about a round grassy plaza. Larry gets nostalgic in the one room school house. This is the oldest merry-go-round in the United States. - It is powered by the steam engine you see. Heading west, we run into some showers. The plains are coming to an end.  Mountains appear.
The plains meet the front range at Colorado Springs. In Garden of the Gods, a Colorado Springs city park. We talked to men who were climbing the rocks. They had a small audience. It was nice to see trees again after two days on the plains. - Pike's Peak is in the distance.
The formations were sandstone with layers running vertically. This park was not exactly 'roughing it'. - All the trails were paved in concrete. There were homes scattered in among the trees on the distant hills. This formation was darker and rougher than most of the others. Here you can see the redder sandstone next to it.
