Established in 1891, Cripple Creek was the World’s Greatest Gold Camp with some 500 working gold mines. Today it is a lovely small town with the main street of town lined with casinos. There must be 20 of them along the street. All the buildings are in the brick style old western town.

While we were inside, we heard a storm outside and when we looked outside, it was hailing! Hail the size of peanuts was coming down by the bucket full. In a matter of 10 minute all the roads, buildings and cars were covered in white.
