As we passed Colorado Springs, Damsel took this photo of the famous Pike&#8217;s Peak (named for Brigadeer General <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Zebulon_Pike\">Zebulon Pike<\/a>). General Pike was ordered to explore and discover the headwaters of the Arkansas River, which brought him and his regiment to Colorado. The rest of it is a long story &#8211; click the link to learn more about Pike.<\/p>\n<p>Our main stop along the route was Mountain View Cemetery in Pueblo, where several of my relatives are buried. These include (on my Dad&#8217;s side), my Grandmother and Grandfather, an Uncle and Aunt, another Uncle who died in infancy, my Great Grandparents and several other same surname as me relatives who I did not know, but we honor them anyhow. Damsel and I placed eleven wreaths and a couple of American Flags in their honor today.<\/p>\n<p><a href='http:\/\/capnbob.us\/graphics\/imageview.php?image=http:\/\/capnbob.us\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/poole-plot-decorations.jpg' title='Family Plot in Pueblo'><img src='http:\/\/capnbob.us\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/poole-plot-decorations.jpg' alt='Family Plot in Pueblo' width='550' \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>After the cemetery, we drove some 20 miles down I-25 to the campground where we are currently parked and will be until Saturday. As of this stop, we have met our visitation objectives by virtue of today&#8217;s decorations and those of last Saturday in Montrose. The rest of the trip is relaxing and sightseeing all the way back to Arizona.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Our travel today took us from Limon, CO to Pueblo South KOA near Colorado City.
