My summer vacation: Spent a week in Colorado. I put the time to go use-drove over 3000 miles and visted several gold mines. One in particular was rather interesting. Cripple Creek Colorado was at one time the greatest gold field in the world. Over 20 million ounces of gold were produced with an estimated 80 million ounces still remaining. Unfortunately, due to the drop in gold prices, it is no longer economical to mine the underground portion which consists of some 2000 miles of interconnected passages extending into the depths. I went on a tour and was brought down to the 1000 foot level of the mine-very eerie! Rich gold veins run in all directions and remain for the taking. I tried my hand at gold panning on Cripple creek-downstream from the historical gold fields in what was known as the "World's Fair Placer" and managed to find a few gold specks on BLM land in the vicinity. Even located a foot wide vein consisting of gold bearing pyrite/chalcopyrite and pink quartz in a road cut. Neat! Even found a breccia rock nearby with sharp angular fragments. Wow. At the Phoenix Mine West of Denver I was allowed to touch the "Lucky Bucket". Many people have made their fortune soon after touching the "Lucky Bucket" and I hope to be one of them. Cheers!
