South Park Perils! New Book Available!

 There is nothing I love reading more than stories of early Colorado.

South Park Colorado is a lot more than the home of Cartman  and the boys. It is a rugged and beautiful area located in Central Colorado, surrounded by majestic 14ners. It is an area we  spend a great deal of time in, exploring the many isolated areas. Of course many of those areas aren't as isolated as they used to be, since more and more people are moving in to stake their claim to their little house on the prairie. South Park  was home to the Pikes Peak Gold Rush in the late 1850's. The towns of  Fairplay, Tarryall, Garo, Como still remain, a few, like Buckskin Jo are only memories.

The area was the hunting grounds of local Native Americans, as great buffalo herds filled the park. Antelope, coyotes, and buffalo can easily be spotted on almost any given day.

My husband and I spend our anniversary weekend in Fairplay every year at the Hand Hotel, a quaint get away we cherish each year.

The history of the area is a rich history of the old west. Filled with tales of hangings, cattle thieves and the exploits of the murderous Espinoza brothers, who terrorized the area, in  1863, while the rest of the country was involved in the Civil War. Colorado was anything but quiet at that time, and Christie Wright brings to life many of those infamous stories in her newest book
