Saturday, December 10, was a mild winter day, perfect for a drive from the Palmer Divide area to Cripple Creek. The winter scenery, carols on the car radio, and a small-town Christmas parade brought on the Christmas spirit.
By invitation of the Teller County Parks and Rec Department, Nancy Oswald signed her new book Rescue in Poverty Gulch during the Cripple Creek Gold Camp Christmas celebration Friday and Saturday. The middle-grade chapter book is set in Cripple Creek in 1896 and features the antics of 11-year-old Ruby Mae Oliver and her donkey, Maude.
