This is Guffey, Colorado !!

The Town of Guffey, Colorado, is the home of John and Colleen, and their cat, who just happens to be the official Mayor. The cat's name is Monster and his story has been published in several tabloids and various media. John will share those with you when you arrive and sit down awhile to discuss life as it was in the 60's. Guffey is a favorite stop for many cyclists, both pedal powered and motorized. The accomodations are simple and very affordable. They include a bona-fide outdoor privy, a shower constructed of garden hose, shower head and cast iron tub with one side carved out, so you do not have to step over! A sleeping shed, complete with a bed on hinges and chains, which lowers from a side wall. And a chain, which is attached to the outside wall, but also attaches to a hook on the inside of the door, to keep the bears from opening you door at night. Now, since the chain is attached to the outside, that means the door does not completely close. But, John advises, " the space is too small for a bear to get through".
Guffey was a great experience and worth the one mile climb, off route! You must see the collection of photos when I return.
