Sorry about the fat-fingered Geography. Yes, of course, Cripple Creek is close to the Spgs. My former spouse and I took a Cripple Creek 'ride' down the miners skip/cage from the headframe down into the heart of that mine back in '68 before it reopened for commercial biz after the goldprice spike in the late 70s. That was one dark hole. They turned the lights out for us just to show us how inky black it is in those tunnels. We literally could not see our hands in front of our faces. That was the first time I'd ever seen a gold vein up close and personal, snaking up through the sidewall of the adit up to and disappearing into the ceiling. There used to also be a kind of tourist park with a little narrow gauge train tour back in the late 60s while the mine was still 'closed' to commercial operations that is. I was thinking Cooper's Gulch in SW Colorado. Thanks for the correction. RE: finding if they are interested in selling part of their biz, sure, I'm interested.
