Cripple Creek

We took a day trip to this cute mining town from our home base in Woodland Park, Colorado.  There are many small casino's in this town now which probably support the town.  They are only licensed to have slot machines and no table games.  There is a reason why they call them one armed bandits.  I prefer to test my luck on the poker table.  We arrived before noon and the town was almost vacant.  The casino's were open, but most shops were closed on this Sunday morning.  I guess the tourists were not visiting due to COVID19.  We have been here several times in the past and hoped to take in a play.  Unfortunately, that was closed too.  We did enjoy the ride through the mountains and observing the wild donkey's in town.  Shop owners sell food to feed them and they stand around on street corners waiting for a hand out.  At one point we literally had to walk between them to get to the other side of the street.
