A recent discovery of hubby's family photos from the 1920's includes photos of a roadtrip from Kansas to Colorado. His Aunt Leona, still alive in 2012 at age 103, was the designated driver. That alone was scary enough but when she began driving the family up the original one way dirt Pikes Peak autoroad she admitted not knowing how to use the gears on the incline! We have a certificate stating they made it to the summit and as she is currently alive and very mentally aware, we assume the certificate is accurate. This photo is of their stop at the Baldpate Inn outside Estes Park. The inn's name was derived from the mystery novel "Seven Keys to Baldpate" by Earl Derr Biggers and the owners boast of having the world's largest key collection.

Fabulous story ... wonderful photo and a beautiful design. Love the colours and the edge overlay you used. 103 .... WOW!
 
I love this page! blending is gorgeous and love the frame with the key! you shared the story with us but not on this page - I hope you tell the story behind this photo somewhere so your family will remember this! How cool that she is living at 103!
 
Oh my! What a story and love the picture and layout! I can't even imagine doing Pikes Peak in that old car and not knowing the gears! Yikes, I loved Pikes Peak, but not driving waay up there and back down! Our last visit, I just didn't have a good feeling about going and consequently in the newspaper, a lady lost her brakes and went over the cliff on the way down that day!!
