Pike's Peak/Manitou Springs

[Unka Bart <mendicant@buddhist.com>]

HI all,

I've been trying with out success until now, to recall the name of the
kitschy looking little area at the bottom of the mountain, and it just hit
me, it's Manitou Springs.

Would anyone in the Colorado Springs (Ben?) care to comment on the idea of
grabbing a place for the group in Manitou Springs?  My impression, as we
drove through it to and from the race, was that this would be a *neat*
place to stay.

Ideas, comments, rutababas...?
