So we journeyed by train across the country to Colorado and my father rented a small cabin there. That cabin, by the way, stood until the 1980s when it was torn down for a new apartment complex. We spent a very enjoyable summer there. We loved the outdoors and we hiked every day. I remember they bought me a small red tin wagon which could be hauled quite easily to places like North and South Cheyenne Canyons.<br \/>\n\u201cMy father only had to play with the band in the evenings at the park so we had a lot of time to see many things. My mother and I sat on the grassy lawn and listened to the concerts each evening. We were there for most of the summer.\u201d \u2013 Herb<\/p>\n<p><strong>To see more of the photos of Herb&#8217;s first trip West, from 1917, click the image below:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.canyoncountryzephyr.com\/2013\/08\/01\/herbs-first-trip-west-colorado-springs-summer-1917\/\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-medium wp-image-9439\" alt=\"herb&amp;sadie-CO1917\" src=\"http:\/\/www.canyoncountryzephyr.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/08\/herbsadie-CO1917-300x225.jpg\" width=\"514\" height=\"385\" srcset=\"http:\/\/www.canyoncountryzephyr.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/08\/herbsadie-CO1917-300x225.jpg 300w, http:\/\/www.canyoncountryzephyr.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/08\/herbsadie-CO1917-1024x768.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 514px) 100vw, 514px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.canyoncountryzephyr.com\/2013\/08\/01\/herbs-first-trip-west-colorado-springs-summer-1917\/\" target=\"_blank\">http:\/\/www.canyoncountryzephyr.com\/2013\/08\/01\/herbs-first-trip-west-colorado-springs-summer-1917\/<\/p>\n<p><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u201cWhen I was about four my father had an engagement to play the summer season out in Colorado Springs with a local band, the Colorado Midland Band, owned by the Colorado Midland Railroad.
