A small town in the mountains west of Colorado Spr

A small town in the mountains west of Colorado Springs, Guffey is odd but charming. Originally part of a mining district, the town once had more than 500 residents. Now with a population of under 100, there aren’t many people, but there is a boatload (or maybe we should say bathtub load) of quirky and kitschy. Outside of one of the few businesses in town, the Last Chance Antiques Store, there is everything from a row of vintage clawfoot tubs to an old Studebaker to a carriage driven by a skeleton and pulled by more skeletons. Instead of trying to describe all of the odd and weird, we’ll just leave you with some pictures of our visit.

Saxby checked out the old mining town of Victor last weekend. Victor and neighboring Cripple Creek combined to create the second largest gold mining district in the country and the most productive in Colorado, producing $10 billion in gold (in 2010 dollars). #visitcos #bringfido #theredrascal #tinsheets

The Palace Hotel in Cripple Creek, CO was opened i

The Palace Hotel in Cripple Creek, CO was opened in 1892 in the space of a former drug store. Fire consumed much of the town in 1896, including the hotel, which was rebuilt out of brick. Sadly, the wife of the turn-of-the-century owner who ran the hotel and was affectionately known as Miss Kitty died in 1908 and is said to still haunt the building. After many years of sitting empty, the hotel was converted into a casino in 1992 but closed by 2001. The building has been vacant since that time though there are plans in the works to hopefully make it into a boutique motel. #signsunday #vintageneon #visitcos #tinsheets
