Back in the 70’s I lived in leadville Co. At the time, the county had a population about 8,000. The ratio of liquor outlets was 1 for every 100 people.

My first “Boom Days’ celebration was fun from what I was told. The town ran out of alcohol by Sunday afternoon.

If you are not sure where Leadville is, it is half way between Climax and Ball Town along highway 91.

Been in Leadville a few times. It’s been booming again. Still a lot of bars! (cold in the winter)

At Leadville’s altitude I’d need one drink and I’d be gone.......
