And then the Rocky Mountains came into view





It's only a 3-1/2 hr flight between Hot Springs & Colorado Springs, but it passes over the fields and paths that are the stories of legends.  Manhattan & Dodge City Kansas, Cheyenne, and so many others.

I could imagine a heard of buffalo, Sheriff Matt Dillion at Dodge, cattle rustlers, and long lines of Conestoga wagons pushing Westward in search of Gold and a new life.

What was it they were seeking that made them risk they lives to make the journey?
