Hurry spring, come fast! Thanks for the tips again, Amanda! From where I sit in cold Chicago tonight, picking fruits and vegetables sounds mighty fine, indeed. Hurry spring, come fast!

My mom used to work on the other side of Garden of the Gods, so she would ride her bike through 'GOG' to work and back every day. No problem for the tips and here's another one: Ask a local to help you find Williams Canyon during the spring/summer/autumn. Once you actually find the place, you can pick wild fruits and vegetables as you hike through. It's also filled with caves and natural little pools. Yeah, I do, and I completely love it!

I live in Manitou and a short walk from Garden of the Gods. Anytime you're in town, you gotta let me know and I can show you all the amazing places that tourists never find ... like the rock steps up the hillside to the ruins on Lover's Lane. Or the trails along the creek. Or the hidden graveyard. Or the BEST spot in Garden of the Gods to stand and see all of Colorado Springs and mountains on three sides. OR! Black Cat bookstore with the most magnificent reading areas ever with castle-like alcoves looking out onto the creek. I’m so glad you liked our state!

When I would hear people talking about it on Twitter, I felt a tiny bit happy I wasn't there. :) Hope you're enjoying school in Chicago!
