My parents and I took an hour drive up into the mountains to this little town called Cripple Creek, that is 9,200 feet above ground. Basically its made up of a ton of casinos and that's about it. I was waiting for my mom in one of them when the security guards were escorting this young sir out due to high intoxication (mind you this was at like 2 in the afternoon)... Although once he saw me standing at the door he just had to stop and stair. These casinos also had free alcoholic beverages, all day any day. I have found out that people in small towns stair quite a bit at the visitors (it didn't look like he was on of the locals though just incredible drunk and out of it).
On the way back there were quite a few interesting places to see and houses on the top of a mountain that looks like it would just fall of one way or another. While we were driving through the mountains we had some rain, sleet, hail and last but not least SNOW. Apparently, Colorado Springs gets snow in the middle of May...
And then there are the small towns just scattered in the mountains with not much around them.
I also attempted to take some photos while we were driving back down the mountain.
