Yes, the air is thin there, I'm much less stressed by the skimpy oxygen molecules a few thousand feet lower. My acreage also allows me more days of the year to work than anything at the 9K' level.

I don't remember for sure if Cripple Creek is primarily silver or not. It was over 30 years ago, so I could be mistaken about that as well. Maybe Richard could confirm that silver/vs/gold statement.

Considering that the price of silver was in the crapper at that time as well as the price of gold when I visited the CC mine itself, I wouldn't be surprised if it was shut down for the same reason...low silver prices.

RE: taking goldpans into Cripple Creek mine, I agree. It wouldn't be too useful in the mine itself.<g> BUT, I wouldn't dream of going through Colorado again without my goldpan.
