Those sound like pretty good reasons Dena!  Colorado is full of all kinds of different little towns.

Dena, the guy who live in the house on the right really needs to mow his front lawn before the neighbors start to complain :)

WoW, Dena, those are really old buildings. 

It does look like a mining place too. I imagine there are some real characters living in that town.  Thanks for posting it to the Heritage Properties group.

Neat pictures....kind of looks haunted.

Jo-Anne, Character for sure, hunted is a possibility, heritage is certain. People who live here come in every shape and size just like any where else. But there are a few people in this town who have NEVER crossed the Arkansas River, approx 8 miles away. And I know of one house that is made of the wooded boxes that they use to ship silver in. A very, very sturdy house constructed almost entirely of 4x4x10 boxes.

George, Unfortunately that old shop has been vacant for years. The town is so poor that they don't have the money to keep up the weeds. The upside is that building goes up for sale once in awhile. Land, building and utilities approx $45K

Joanne, I live in a near by town. People often ask me whyI live where I do. The reason is simple - it's got no place to go but up!

Coal Creek could easily become a ghost town or go the other way and become very popular again.

Hi Dena,  This looks quite interesting.  Hmm...very interesting
