    this is a review off their Facebook page.
    Well I lived in Victor for three years, 2007 to 2010. I was ran out of town by a vindictive ex girlfriend that was a local and a corrupt cop. While I was there the local chief of police David Bowman use to take female DUI suspects to his Victor city funded bachelor pad to "sleep it off". The locals didn’t mind because he only gave them warnings instead of citations. My house was burglarized, and no progress on the case has ever been made. The Teller county sheriff’s department refused to take any complaints either about any locals or the Police at the time. I once was at the local bar there and a local told me about how he stabbed a black man, and nothing happened to him. As far as I know David is wanted now for getting a 17 year old girl pregnant in Cripple Creek. It’s so corrupt out there the Feds had to come in and break up the party. Pikes Peak Bulletin wrote an article about how the ATF and DEA had a special task force setup for that whole county. Victor Colorado is mostly populated by three interbred families. Teller County is full of Bigots! It’s an oasis for bigots . Don’t go there on vacation unless you want to leave on probation. They will make up or say anything about you, true physical evidence is ignored, and everyone there will pick up the narrative and run you out. Your white privilege won’t save you there unless you’re a local. Fair Warning!

    @ScrewdUPClickV2 yeah I covered about 2,800 miles in 10 days. I’ve only edited about half of it so far… much more to come.

    I worked in the Eagle in late 1939, and up to June in 1940. When you stand anywhere near the mine shaft (at 11,000ft altitude), and look straight west some 200 miles distant to the Sangre de Cristo Mountain range in a solid snow pack, you have had an incredibly beautiful experience, and know that God is in the life of each of us.

    The dirt road to Colorado Springs referred to by others was originally a railroad that went around the southerly haunches of Pikes Peak to C.S..
