We won’t get into the mountains again before we leave for Germany, but enjoy this post from about this same time last year.

Cripple Creek is a weird little town!
Last time I was here was on my grandma’s 98th birthday… old bird loves to gamble!
It is definitely a senior citizen destination ☺
as are most casinos, I find! I’ve never really been able to vibe with casino gambling for this reason. Cripple Creek at least has a little bit of character, unlike Colorado’s other main gambling destination, Blackhawk.
This post certainly made me smile. Cripple Creek is on our short list for this weekend. It is a great day trip and they have some of the best festivals we have visited. Ice Festival is really worth a trip also. Thanks for posting this.
Yes, the ice festival is definitely as is the donkey derby. Hope you enjoy it this weekend, the scenery should be gorgeous!
The place seems to have the sort of American local colour that we Europeans find so exotic 🙂
Definitely an interesting town, but you would probably like a town called Beaver Creek even better ☺
Sigh. As things stand, fat chance but you never know 🙂
People call Cripple Creek conservative and I guess in some ways it is, but in other ways I feel it is pretty progressive, — a lot of people have been considering Bernie Sanders as an alternative to the mainstream in the next presidential election. What do you guys think?
