[Fish and Dear]

Day 6...7/17 We drove over to Cripple Creek and toured the Molly Kathleen Mine. It was a great tour. Our guide was a 3rd generation gold miner and had lots of great first hand info.

The town's of Cripple Creek and Victor aren't really much to see, though. Both pretty old towns, but Cripple Creek was nothing but casinos, and Victor didn't really seem to have much of anything but a giant open pit gold mine.

We took Phantom Canyon Road from Victor back to highway 115 and back up to our rig. That road alone took about 2 hours, and took us through beautiful alpine forests and high desert. I'll have to get some of Melissa's pictures from the drive. I was busy not driving off cliffs. Lol
