One of the things that make the mountains so interesting to me is the old mining relics that can be found up in the hills. Today it was supposed to be 50 here in town so for some strange reason, I decided to start my ride over near the old towns of Victor and Cripple Creek. Both of these were mining towns and there's some cool stuff to see over there (the casinos are not one of them). I started my ride just past Horsethief Park and rode to Gold Camp Road. I guess everyone was in a big hurry to get their drink/gamble on because some folks were driving insane. Exactly 2 miles after getting on Gold Camp, you come to this nice little fixxer upper. I don't think it's all that old. It wouldn't take much to get this baby polished up. I could easily live here although I would be single.

It already has the most important part inside. A small fridge. Unfortunately, someone decided to shoot it. Someone wrote this message on the front of it and for a second I thought I was gonna get a free beer. But...it was empty. TK....you always say you hate the cold but....now we know the truth (ya gotta look closely at the signature).

I could sit here all day long and drink coffee (or beer) and be quite content.

This is what I rode on for 4 hours.

It is so nice to get butt naked in a warm van with comfy seats. Obviously I was not quite naked here.
