Drone Flight: Cripple Creek & Victor Gold Mine
Back in April, GhettoBlaster had a show in Colorado Springs, and a few of us spent a night at the Cripple Creek Hospitality House - a truly amazing place! (You can see it at the end of the video, but you MUST see the interior.) I flew my drone toward the Cripple Creek & Victor Gold Mine, not really knowing what to expect. It turned out to be a great flight.

Cripple Creek & Victor Mining District
I headed out to the Cripple Creek, Colorado area today with the quadcopter. If you're ever in the area, you owe it to yourself to visit this special place. The Mollie Kathleen Mine is WELL worth the visit; a great way to experience mining in a realistic way (and I know, I have a degree in Mining Engineering and worked underground hardrock mines for part of my career.) If you're a gambler, you'll have fun here as well, but if you want to see some well preserved mining structures, head on over to Victor and hike the American Eagles Overlook trail. Thanks to my dad for the still photos. See more of his photos from around the world at russ-lewis.com.

Cripple Creek & Victor
This instrumental was inspired by my many visits to Cripple Creek & Victor, Colorado in the 1960s - early 1970s. In the late 1890s until the early 1900s it was the richest gold camp on earth. In the late 20th - early 21st centuries it has once again become an active gold mining center as the price of gold has soared in recent years. Today's mining is primarily an open pit operation in low grade ore deposits.
