Sitting on the steps outside of the Hokanson home, looking across the valley. Magnificent view, clear summers day in the mountains.

4th of July gathering at the Hokansons. Hot dogs and beer. Big flags and hot weather today, fire works and explosions. Picture not the best... tried to get the big flag hanging inside, but got mostly door... my eyesight failing.

Del, Pete and Kea met us at Denver airport, travelled down to Manitou Springs, calling at Garden of the Gods along the way.
