Up, down, and then up again

I'm flying to Cripple Creek early tomorrow morning.   Or to be more correct, I'm flying to Colorado Springs, and then driving up to that familiar ole' mining town on the back side of Pikes Peak.  I'm looking forward to visiting my parents for a few days. 

Also, time for the first hit of winter in the Rocky Mountains, so I'll bring snow.  Pick the month, it doesn't matter when I go to Colorado-- February, May, April, September, October-- it snows. The ski areas should fly me around for free!

Anyway, if the Internet gods are favorable I'll check in later in week.
