Anyway, I agreed on the condition we added some side sightseeing to the hike. Finally found a free place to park on the other side of town, but it goes past several of the 11 public Springs for which Manitou got it's name. Manitou was basically a victorian spa in it's heyday. Some of the most notable springs pictured in the photoset have been restored. They all have different mineral content, but most are naturally carbonated and quite tasty. They are free to the public so I brought a couple gallon bottles and took some home. 
There is info. on Mineral content etc. at this link:
Good day nice to get out with Kris and it was interesting to learn a little more history of the area.
I'm drinking some Stratton Springs right now!
