Bob Ford's Grave site

Bob Ford is one of Creede's most famous historical figures. The murderer of Jesse James had moved to Creede during its "boom" to set up a saloon and gambling hall. On June 7, 1892 Ed O'Kelly killed Ford in Ford's saloon. Ford was buried in the Creede cemetery, his wife later moved his body for burial in the midwest.

We drove outside of Creede toward Lake City. The beautiful Rio Grande River!

We were told by all the locals and visitors alike to make sure and stop at Freeman's General store for a hamburger. You know when in Creede do as the Creede people do, so we stopped to eat and hamburger and it was great!
