Bailey, CO

An unincorporated town about an hour away from Denver, set deep into the foothills, and at a marginally lower altitude than Conifer. This is the place to go if you live in the city and want cheap camping for your oversized RV, just as long as you're willing to deal with unexpected gunshots and bearded confederates who believe in Bigfoot. Without exception, the only people who elect to live in Bailey are Texan hunters, elitist Christians, severely racist and homophobic teenagers (whose behavior is excused only because their parents raised them up that way), and military moms. Don't expect to see any people of color in Bailey; everyone who lives there is white, and if you're lucky enough to be the one black guy you can look forward to sideways glances and racist jokes indirectly targeted at you on the community Facebook page. It's not uncommon to see one of your neighbors shooting off their property, nor is it uncommon to see pickup trucks wielding American or Conservative flags. In fact, the only thing worse than the people is the public school system. There is no grocery store, the library is inadequate, and the only two restaurants are tourist attractions, but take solace in the fact that *yes*, there is a pot shop.
