--------
The Garden of the Gods Park has an abundance of plant and animal life
thoughout its 1,340 acres, 8 miles of trails, as well as the magnificent red
sandstone rock formations, for which the Garden is best known. Many of these were
generated by really big earthquakes and sculpted through time by erosion. The
park is very popular and has about 1 million visitors each year. Maybe you have
been there, can you remember the Kissing Camels, Balanced Rock, Ship Rock,
Praying Hands, The Scotsman, or the face of Chief Manitou on the side of Gray
Rock?
i will have a special 'GOG' QSL Card available, This is the most
beautiful park in the State of Colorado.
For more park details on line see

http://www.co-trading-post.com/tp_html/gar-hist.htm W0RW/pm/KX1 will be Pedestrian Mobile (Peripateticus Mobilus Elecraftus)
hiking around in the park using a 10 foot whip and a 13 foot counterpoise.
There aren't too many overhanging trees to snag my antenna so this should be 'a
walk in the park'.
i will be using the great 300 foot tall granite monoliths as reflectors to
the east and west as i walk around.
i will be totally powered by those exploding Sony LiIon cells.
