There is still a lot of snow in the high country. This is Meeker Peak and we were over 8000 feet above sea level along this road.
On the way home we stayed overnight at the new Ameristar Hotel in Black Hawk, one of 3 gambling towns in Colorado.
All 3 towns were mining towns back in the day and still have the old west feel.
We played the penny slots at the Ameristar, Isle of Capri and Fortune Valley in Central City which is just a mile from Black Hawk. The only real new machine we found at all of them was a community Wizard of Oz. Most of the others are not anything very new or different. The penny machines minimum bet is 30 cents or more.
We walked away with enough to pay for our trip, hotel, food and had left over too!! So we will be looking for more of those machines next time we go up there or to Cripple Creek which is only an hour from our house.
