The Wild, Wild West of Creede, CO

Last evening we took a drive to Creede, CO – the main mission was pizza from a place my folks like.  Creede, though, is a fascinating place – my comment was that “nothing here is normal”.   Creede was originally a silver mining town, then refuge for Denver gambler and saloon owners and now ??? – an enclave of fascinating characters, artists, original cabins – not quite fixed up – more like added on to…  I want to go back next week and hopefully get some more representative photos, but for today the following will have to do. 

This has to be the most unique fire department location I’ve ever seen – next is downtown Creede.
