Very cool, there's a lot to do in the area! Cripple Creek was weird but those roads were great!

I used to take phantom canyon road back and forth to work in the mine everyday. Stoned every morning, and buzzed every night. Bitchin'!

@@AdventureEndeavor Great video. The first time I took it was at around 4am in the morning in an early 1980s manual transmission 4x4 toyota pickup with a little flat bed I bought from a friend I met from the Andes mountains. I had no idea at the time that it was a shelf road. LOL No internet in those days to speak of. This was around 2001ish.

Much better than gold camp and shelf road. Mind the phantasm

In the 90s on one of our old vhs camcorders we captured while going down that road and were at a huge pile up because an RV was trying to go "up" the road and was stuck on the red bridge. People were piiiised them for going even that far in a huge RV

All great reasons! We have full-timed for 10 years. For seven of those years, our daughters were with us. There were times when Barry had to travel for business and it was scarey being without a vehicle or sometimes just a huge pain to take him to an airport we weren’t familiar with and then pick him up. We should have done what you guys are doing. We’ve also had our share of breakdowns when a second vehicle would have been really nice. We always worked it out but it isn’t always easy,

We left Cripple Creek once by Phantom Canyon Road in our rental Chevy Impala, and it was a fun drive for me, but it scared the hell out of my wife with the sheer dropoffs and narrow roads.

I lived and worked in the Creek.years ago. When a tourist would ask me how to get out of town I would ask if they were driving in a rental...if yes Phantom or Shelf. If not and they loved their car...back on 67 to Divide. I sold jewelry we made in the Creek, silver with semiprecious gem stones, lots of Cripple Creek turquoise, and lots of sweatshirts when the sun went down...it gets cold at almost 10,000 feet high! I love Cripple Creek! 😍

Jesse if you thought Melissa was bad I think my wife has her beat. We were driving a big Ford 2WD SUV on a steep curvey mountain road covered with wet leaves. A married couple were in the back seats my wife wanted to drive and I was in the front passenger seat. Well going up the tires started to slip a little. We were all buckled in but my wife decided she was going to unbuckle her seat, open the door and got ready to jump out. I quickly said WHAT the hell are you doing? Where were you planning on going? Mind you she was gonna ditch us with the car still in gear. How's that for LOVE?🤣😜😜😁
