About: I am a world traveling artist and adventurer. When you go there you will see all the ceilings are hand painted with different designs. I'm an adventurer and historian with an interest in the Colorado mountains and Native American theology.
Why Victor:
Because it is one of the most awesome places I've ever been in my whole life It's one of the last remaining ghost towns they didn't put 7-11s in. They don't build anything unless its historically approved. Most of the houses were left like someone just got up one day and left. Because of the war all the men woke up one day and just left and most never came back, so all the houses were abandoned. The whole place is a treasure of antiques of memorabilia. I bought 12 houses in the town. And also because it was at 10.000 ft and I liked the idea of being up high. It's like a ocean of clouds above the mountain tops and u can see the sangre de cristos its like yr in the clouds looking out onto the earth.
The Unique Benefits at this House:
The quiteness in one thing I really love there that is comparable to the canyon lands in Utah. You can sit outside in the daytime or nighttime and the ringing in your ears is all you hear. You can hear a rabbit walking across the field. And the stars in the night are amazing and more than you see in most places. And the drama of the weather clouds... they literally float down the street in front of your house you can walk out and swirl your arms around in them. And there's wildlife right there and a family of foxes that have made their home in the back hillside and baby foxes are born each year and you can watch them.
