recreation.gov worked flawlessly this time so now have Mount Blue Sky tickets. Just Mesa Verde to go now next Friday.

Tagged on the end of the ticket was a text advising that the route is closing from September and will re-open in 2026 so we did well to get in before it closed down. see link

Sadly I just missed out (by a day!) on the Pikes Peak Airshow which I just learned about. Bit disappointed about that but I guess you can't do everything!!
