Loving Leadville. Leadville, Colorado, 2013
Imagine living here, at over 10,000 feet above mean sea level. How long would it take to boil your spaghetti noodles to al dente? What would happen to your red blood cell count? How would you survive the winter months in this subarctic climate with only one decent liquor store to choose from? Would you become a mountain marathoner or ultra mountain cyclist or burro racer or hand steeler merely by osmosis? Would you grow a wooly-mammoth beard (women excepted) and learn to telemark down the double black diamond slopes at the local ski area?
I love this little town way up on the interior plateau surrounded by big peaks–the highest incorporated city in the USA.
