The Secret of Golconda: A Rocky Moutain Epic

By Ron W. Jackson

In earlier years, Ron, Ella and their 4 young sons would have been called pioneers. But after buying an old run down summer fishing camp on the shore of Lake San Cristobal, Colorado 1972, some called them crazy. Ignoring the critics, the family began their 17 year struggle, building, turning this run down fishing camp into a year round destination resort. Their story will keep you laughing, crying, and wondering why they didn't walk away. Helicopter skiing, helicopter crashes, mountain climbs, snowmobiling, bus crashes, politics, employee romances, sled dog races, golf on frozen lake Lake San Cristobal, are only a few of the subjects you'll read about. The last, or almost last, is the story of Ron and Ella driving out of town just before Christmas 1988, in a rented u haul truck, broke and broken-hearted. Twenty-five years later Ron wrote this book, but only after learning "The Secret of Golconda" and finding instead of failure, the had been successful, successful far beyond anything they had ever imagined.
