Day 4 - Cripple Creek - Guffey
Originally we had contemplated riding up Pike's Peak, visible from Angel's front porch, but she had just gotten a job out at the Wildwood Casino in Cripple Creek and needed to go in for orientation. Skye and I spent the day wandering the old mining town, impressed that most of the casinos had restored the old buildings rather than building modern structures.
We picked up some huckleberry jam at the museum to gift Angel's folks in gratitude for their hospitality, then made our way up the hill to a community festival. We each attempted the "drunk glasses" obstacle course. Skye wore the "really drunk" 0.35 ones and went through the course beautifully impressing everyone, especially the cops! I wore the "less drunk" 0.25 ones and tripped over the cones, missing the items to be picked up, and generally didn't do well at all.
Angel picked us up around 5. Her folks had dinner waiting and her Dad really liked the jam! We sat, catching up and telling stories until late.
