Geocache Description:

Easy find in the heart of the mining district

Cripple Creek Colorado in the heart of the early gold mining districts of Colorado. Donkeys played a key part of the backbreaking work of hard rock mining in the early days. They were used above and below ground to move the gold and silver laden ore. When the mines played out the donkeys were abandoned, sometimes left below in the mines. The ones who returned to nature reproduced and a wild herd has lived in the area ever since, coming into to town whenever they wished. Although there are not many left this is a statue honoring them. To get this cache you must: E mail me with the name of the statue, artist, and when made or post a picture of you with your GPS at the statue.
