Central City, Colorado

I drove to Central City and Black Hawk for my monthly pilgrimage to the casinos and history of the Colorado mining communities near Golden and Idaho Springs.

This time, I stayed at the Reserve Casino and Hotel in Central City.  I took an evening stroll around the almost deserted Central City.  They were not many people on this Tuesday night in May.

There is a lot of history in Central Citty.  You can find some of that history here:
