No Foot traffic?

Methinks you just ride your horse on in!

About the photo: The house is located in Crested Butte a mountain town in Colorado where the entire town is a historic district.  Crested Butte is also named, "The Wild Flower Capital of Colorado."  If you are wanting to find it on a map look in southwest Colorado, it's just north of Gunnison by about 20 miles. Or find Aspen and Crested Butte is sw over the mountain.

The town has a distinct personality, very family friendly, sports oriented place. While we were there, the townsfolk played baseball everynight on 3 different ball parks.  Now that might not seem so unusual, but this is at 8085 feet above sea level.  For some (like me) just walking and talking (without getting winded) was a feat!

They also have a delightful custom of using bicycles to travel around town.  The bikes, which I refer to as "beach cruisers" are referred to as "townies."  They are found everywhere around town.  I heard many are owned by the city and are available to whomever needs transportation. 

The locals have their own and find on occasion the bike turns up missing, assumed to be used to ride home from the bar, but found later on. 

If anyone is looking to refer to Crested Butte, I meet a great agent, Trish Giassa who sells Crested Butte Real Estate.  She's also on Active Rain.

How odd! Is there another door, or are the inhabitants trying to discourage passerby from dropping in?

KK:

Hopefully it's just a home discouraging solicitors and not a retail store. LOL

Kristal, it's the color scheme that did it for me. I'd be willing to crawl in just to meet the interesting folks that live there. :  )

Hi Kristal.  This is a great localism post.  Beach cruisers is a cute name for bikes, considering the ocean shores are so far away.
