#16 Creede, CO 08-07-2008

While is South Fork, we drove up to the little mining town of Creede. We tried to get tickets for their theatre performances, but they were sold out. Evidently this is quite a draw for people to see these plays. It was started as a much needed tourist attraction and has been very successful. This is a landscape design at the base of the rock mountain. Can you see the metal bedstead?
A very different garage forthe fire department!!
That is a mining car sitting under the roof. The logs are the retaining wall. During the day you can actually go into the mine. They run tours. We were there in the evening and went out to dinner at the Blue Creek Lodge, where they serve home baked pies made by the Menonite community. Frank had a piece of very delicious Apple Pie!.
This is the Creede Library. Very cute.
