A brief stop in Cripple Creek, famous for gold mining, now a mecca for tourists with the urge to gamble. Yeah, I had to play a little blackjack. Walked away up $15!!!
South to the little town of Crestone, a community founded on principles of spiritualism, environmental consciousness, and acceptance....yeah, it's a hippie town. But so much more. Spent two days camped along the creek and explored

| Working them dreads! (I was told she was a DinoDoodle) |
 |
| The Shumei Institute, where we chanted and were given a Jorei energy blessing. |
 |
| Beautiful and fragrant Blue Rabbitbrush. |
 |
| Dining Hall at the ashram where we were welcomed and invited to join them for lunch. |
 |
| Wait - am I in India??? |
 |
| Outside the Crestone Brewery - time for a brew and a meal after all that heady spiritual stuff! |
 |
| The "sound garden" here where you could bang and jam to your heart's content. |

Brown's Canyon National Monument is one of the newest, created in 2015. There's river rafting, fishing, hiking and just plain beautiful scenery.
