We did the Cripple Creek train ride on our last day before heading back to Kentucky to visit with family. We learned a lot about Cripple Creek on the train ride. No better way to learn than life experiences. We can't wait to return there next year for Nationals and do some more adventuring.

We were told that there is gold in these rocks. About a million dollars worth BUT it would take a extremely long time to dig up enough to make even an ounce.

| The hill is the existing mine today. It's the 3rd largest gold producer in our country . |
