Cell phones & suspension bridges.

Normally, these two things should have nothing in common. Today they did. Jami's cell phone has been on the fritz and seemed doomed for any further use. So we did a little research only to find the nearest location to get a new phone with our provider Alltel was in a town nearly 90 minutes away ... Canon City. Not such a popular cell phone provider in CO, eh?! It just so happens that this town also is the site of some correctional facilities (prisons), a dinosaur museum, a quaint downtown district, the only Alltel store in what seems like most of the state, and the Royal Gorge Bridge. Jami & the boys took off on an afternoon adventure to 1) get a new cell phone and 2) get a view of the Royal Gorge.  We have no pics from our 1st mission to Alltel, but the 2nd mission certainly made the trip even more worthwhile.

The Royal Gorge Bridge is the highest suspension bridge in the world!

"C'mon, guys. This way to the big bridge!"

Tiny tourists.

When standing in the middle of the bridge, the wind is pretty strong and the bridge sways a bit. That didn't seem to scare someone away...

It's a long way down...
