As many have - I've lurked, read, laughed, and learned a lot from the OSP'er posts for a while now, but from the sidelines. So I've decided to jump on in as everyone here seems like first-rate people, very friendly, and as someone else mentioned - you all are a bunch of good lookin people.

My name is Enoch Gonzalez - E-WHAT? ... was the usual response growing up. It's pronounced E-Knock... however my nieces nicknamed me Knockie- which was fine with me. I'd heard it all and that was kinda cute. I was Born and raised in San Antonio Texas but also lived in Oklahoma and Louisiana. Now living in beautiful Colorado Springs CO.

As DJ would say - you all ROCK and i'm phyched to join in on the fun.

Oh and on a side note... here are some fun shots we took on our trip up to Pikes Peak yesterday. It was such a fantastic day to play hooky and have a picnic.

Hi, Enoch, and welcome to OSP. Great name (are you prophetic?)

I lived in Denver for 9 years and miss it terribly. Love Colorado Springs, but Denver is my favorite city. I was back recently and didn't want to leave!

Nice Pike's Peak shots. I once climbed Gray's and got very bad altitude sickness, which made me very reluctant to try other 14ers.

Enjoy!!

Welcome! Love these shots... beautiful!!

Hi

Thanks Bruce, and actually yes I am - I knew you were going to ask that...
We absolutely love it here and right now we're planning a weekend trip up to Denver to visit some of the museums- heard they're quite lovely- and other sites. Maybe catch a Broncos game - even though I'm a Cowboys fan... (oh that just hurt any chance of me getting friends here...)

We've been hiking a lot lately and can't wait to do Pike in about 2 months. Plan on conquering all of the 14ers here in Co...

Welcome to the forum. Good luck!

you had me at the lone bunny photo!! LOL

welcome!

That's quite a goal ... very challenging!! Though I do have a few friends that have done all or are working on it. Gotta' be in pretty good condition, as I'm sure you know.

Stay hydrated!!



I may be out that way again in early November. Perhaps we can hook up.

Definitely - we'll get lunch...

Hi Enoch Welcome!

I think you will love it here and in CO.

Awesome!! Radiator Springs, the finest little town in Carburettor County, the jewel on the necklace of route 66!!

I love the view from the Wheel Well Hotel........ nice!

I have to agree! I love the bunny shot!!! Welcome to OSP!

I just watched Cars again yesterday --- one of my favorites...

Best line - Mater - "He did what in his cup?"

Welcome to OSP, and good luck trying to climb all of the 14er's. We are trying to plan a Colorado get together in a few weeks, let me know if you are interested.

Hey there fellow springer! I live here too. Welcome.
We should get together and meet at a Starbucks or somewhere sometime. As soon as this senoir season ends!!

Welcome to OSP too!!

Thanks Kerri & Lovely Melissa - you both are sweet (and lovely) .

I love that bunny - it's my daughter's - she carries it almost everywhere...

(We have a great Hot Springs Pool... !) I'd love to show you around our area and I'm up for coffee anytime
