I had the day off of work due to the New Year Holiday so I made a quick drive up to Cripple Creek Colorado and Hornbeck Homestead. The mining/rail muesum in Cripple Creek where closed and not being a gambling man (Cripple Creek has a number of casino's) I headed over to Hornbeck Homestead to check it out.

Again nothing special just a good way to get out for the day and a good start to my Colorado adaventures.

Funny seeing that up here. When I was a deputy sheriff working the courthouse I used to get lunch at the ************** all the time. I also live just over a mile from the Hornbeck Homestead in the Fossilbeds. I love living up here and if you get off the beaten path there is all kinds of cool stuff to find.

Nice pics T. Did you take the new 4runner on this trip? If so, how it is treating you so far?

How is the food at the cafe? You'll have to fill me in on some of the areas to visit.

Yep, I did. Right now it's treating me fine just taking care of a few comestic things here and there that the previous owners left behind. The suspension though is in need of being replace but since I paid the vehicle off I have to hold off for a bit.


You and Danica will have to come up here to check this place out (bike Pikes Peak).

Yah, we love the San Juans, but I'm thinking this year we may do a Colorado Trip where we can visit our friends in Springs, Louisville and Collins. That would be a lot of fun.

The food is okay there, nothing spectacular. McGinty's in Divide is awesome and the Smokin'Q is pretty good too. I'd love to point you in a few directions to check out. Mt Baldy is a lot of fun and real close if you want a great view of the springs without the crowds of Pikes Peak. Let me know latter this springs and maybe we could meet up for a day trip or something.

Did you have that Little Feat song running through your head the whole time you were there? That always happens to me. ;)

"...a drunkard's dream, if I ever did see one" indeed. :sombrero:

EDITED TO ADD: My bad it was "The Band" not Little Feat.
