Cripple Creek is neat, so is the Narrow Gauge RR there, but I think it might be a bit cool for a ride this time of year. My Step-Fathers ashes were spread up on one of the hillsides over looking C C. Have u gone up to Pikes Peak or over to the Garden of the Gods? You have to go to the Air Force Academy n go through the Chapel, its AWESOME! I wouldn't have gone, but Colleen talked me into it. The stain glass is really unique n worth the drive over to see it. It's not what u expect.
Most of my Ink was applied there on S. Nevada St., @ Pikes Peak Tattoo. The owner, Uncle Bud Yates, was one hell of an Artist! Unfortunately, he was killed in a bike accident a few years ago. Not sure if Brinda, his wife, kept all the shops he owned or sold them off. Yeah... He's missed, great Artist n an even better person.
We thought of moving out there a few years ago. If I could've gotten a transfer we would've. I never got a chance to photograph Estes Park, but that another place to see even though its up by Denver.
Have fun out there n be careful what part of the Springs u wonder into!
