World's Largest Ball of Twine? not yet... BUT



We haven't yet found the elusive Worlds largest ball of twine, but did stumble upon this self-proclaimed World's largest rocking chair near Colorado Springs, Co. It sat behind a locked gate in a closed, for sale, restaurant, so I'm a little suspect of it's claim. After all, if it was indeed what it said it was, wouldn't the droves of people, driving hundreds of miles to see it kept the restaurant in business?

Anyway we are now settled in CO. Springs for a few days after a great time in Breckenridge where I finally booked a fly fishing guide and took lessons. 4 Rainbow trout later, I think I'm catching on (no pun intended).

Since our time is limited here we've decided to pass up on the train ride to the top of Pikes Peak and instead booked a raft trip on the Arkansas River through the Royal Gorge. An adventure that promises Class IV and V rapids. Since we have never been in anything bigger than class III this could be our final entry.

That's a nice chair, but let me know when you get to the "Stool Capital of the World " ... AKA Blaine, MO
