Going up Cripple Creek

On the road again--spring is almost over so we are deep into vacation planning. The first trip will be at the end of June. We will spend 5 days in Madison County, NC, with Habitat for Humanity, and then head "West" into to Tennessee and Kentucky. More to come on that trip.

But we have also scheduled a trip out to Cripple Creek to see Missie and Jeff and add some more Colorado country to our list of places we have seen before we died.

This time we are heading up to see more mining country and taking in Leadville, Aspen, and Glenwood. We just finished our reservations for lodgings, and this trip will be a mix of unique places.

In the Creek, we will be staying at the Hospitality House, the former county hospital. At the moment, Missie has us slated for the Operating Room. I hope the ghosts of patients lost don't keep us up. In Leadville, we will be at a small chain hotel for variety. In Aspen we will be in the downtown, near the ski lift, where we got Summer rates. Then it is on to Glenwood Springs. We will be staying at a B&B outside town: http://www.fourmilecreek.com/

Then it is back to "The Creek" to celebrate my birthday and head home in time to start teaming for Md. 98.

In the meantime we'll just go around whistling Going up Cripple Creek.
