We awoke to hail on the ground! Just after we returned to the trailer last night the storm caught up with us. You can imagine what a hail storm sounds like in an aluminum trailer. I really thought we would have visible damage, but we had nothing. We returned to Mueller S P and had a great breakfast with the Denver group. I simply do not understand why these people don't weigh 300 pounds apiece. We said a sad farewell to the group as they had to pack up and return home. We decided to stay an extra day.
We headed toward Victor, but before getting there we took a little side trip on Gold Camp Road. We checked out a couple of places in Victor and then headed toward Cripple Creek. While Victor is an almost ghost town Cripple Creek has elected to revive itself by gambling revenue. We were totally uninterested in Cripple Creek downtown and elected to drive through an old residential portion of town. While there we saw burro's resting alongside a home. We then remembered that Cripple Creek is the town that allows the descendants of the mine burro's to roam free. There is a group of people in town who provide feed and care of the animals. With the exception of the burro's we found nothing else that interested us in Cripple Creek, but have tucked Victor into the back of our brains as a possible future summer resting place.
