Obama Rally!

We attended the Obama rally in Fort Collins this Sunday. It was held at the CSU Oval in Fort Collins. When I heard of the location I didn't think there was going to be too many people going. Too many being more than 20,000. Turns out there was 50,000. And we all fit. We didn't get to see Barack, what I thought was the podium was actually the media stage. But it was great just being around everybody and hearing Obama speak.


We were completely lulled into some false hope when we were able to find ample parking spaces on campus. We were told to get to the end of the line. So we started to follow the line to the end of the line--the end was about 2 miles away. We bailed and hung out by the gates waiting for something.


The red line was the line to the oval.

Obama grrrrrls!


We finally make it onto the grounds.


We were so far away. Thank goodness for loudspeakers.
