How wonderful that Pearl still has trinkets left on her grave! I'd be tempted to leave her something too. What a quaint town it is. Thanks for sharing these pictures and this interesting history. laurieBargain Decorating with Lauriehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13582640485560903639noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7924158834708722465.post-83940763103832569642009-05-25T22:22:45.141-05:002009-05-25T22:22:45.141-05:00Thank-u for your comment.It means so much so much ...Thank-u for your comment.It means so much so much to me.I am so Blessed to have you.May God Bless You!

It's full of history, and love the train ride.

Our son lives in Denver, and we decided to drive down to Colorado Springs and do some exploring in that area.<br /><br />We have a Reader's Digest book of the Most Scenic Drives in America that we like to use when we are exploring. The "Colorado Springs Loop" took us to Cripple Creek. We knew we did not have time in one day to complete the entire suggested route and we wanted to go to Royal Gorge.<br /><br />Looking at the little map in our book I noticed that there appeared to be two ways to get south to Hwy. 50 which would take us to Royal Gorge. The book described Shelf Road as "white-knuckle" and "a ledge sliced into the wall of Four-Mile Canyon."<br /><br />I didn't think LBeau and our son Hunter would be able to handle "white-knuckle" but I did see another road on the map, Hwy. 67. What I didn't know was that Hwy. 67 would become a gravel road shortly out of Cripple Creek and that often this gravel road would be one lane with sheer cliffs rising on both sides. I though LBeau and Hunter were going to kill me before we got to the main highway, but the scenery was beautiful.KBeauhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02749986838867446338noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7924158834708722465.post-21293478144770399572009-05-25T07:28:40.236-05:002009-05-25T07:28:40.236-05:00Hi Suzanne...I L♥VED this post!!

I've been hearing about it for years, but have never even been to Colorado, much less to Cripple Creek.<br /><br />Aunt Janet owned and operated a gift shop there. Wouldn't it be "out of this bloggy world" if you somehow knew her? Her name is Janet Hubby. I don't know the name of her shop, but will e-mail my cousin and find out. Aunt Janet has now sold her shop and lives near her son, not in Cripple Creek any more.Keetha Broyleshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07850398844489825600noreply@blogger.com
