Victor and Cripple Creek Colorado

Hi Folks. Well we left Mueller this morning. What a beautiful state park. We will miss the area plus our friends Mike and Judy. We hung out in Victor and Cripple Creek. Both are gold mining towns. Google the towns and read about them. We ran with Mike and hiked with Judy. Some of the sites we've seen. We fished one day at Bison Lake. A beautiful Lake with lots of fish that would not bite. Lets see, I snagged a Golden Trout, I chased a nice rainbow up a creek and caught it with my bare hands. An hour later I snagged another nice rainbow, lost it and then somehow managed to get it in the landing net. Then I managed to catch another trout, Brook Trout, in the landing net. Who needs rods and reels and bait??? We gambled in Cripple Creek. Karen and I both left there with some of their money. We love blackjack. Each day, late afternoon, it would storm. After one of those I took a picture of a double rainbow. One day we hiked to 11000, ?, Some views - what beauty. The beauty this country has to offer. On the way to Cripple Creek one afternoon we say a nice buck sitting on top of a 30 foot boulder just watching traffic and the beautiful view. One evening going back to Mueller we saw two huge Bull Elk, non-typical, book end racks, just standing along the road watching traffic. Sorry no picture...that one wil stay in my memory forever.
Well we left Mueller this morning. Right now we are are sitting in Ralines Wyoming. We will arrive at Flagg Ranch tomorrow - Yellowstone and the Grand Tetons are next on the list. Take Care. I will try to update this site in 4 or 5 days.
Tom and Karen
