Old mining equipment, in Victor, CO.

This old town has an incredible mining history, if you are ever in need of an adventure (or an old building to photograph in) go there! There is still mining going on in the area, but the history is rich and well documented, some true flavor of the old west.

Favorite nugget (haha!) of history: the town undertaker gave “patrons” a discount if they had their gunfights on a weekday instead of the weekend because he would get too backed up!
