....is bat shit crazy and in the same league as Michael Jackson. Seriously, who the fuck builds a replica of a western town that nobody can see? Given the cult of secrecy that he and his equally bat shit crazy brother adhere to, I'll wager money that he has plans to run a 'Most Dangerous Game' wild west scenario using kidnapped homeless people as the game.
These are the kinds of fuckwads who need to be stripped of their power and money.
Billionaire Bill Koch's new Colorado town is a private Old West marvel
KEBLER PASS There's a new town in Colorado. It has about 50 buildings, including a saloon, a church, a jail, a firehouse, a livery and a train station. Soon, it will have a mansion on a hill so the town's founder can look down on his creation.
But don't expect to move here or even to visit.
This town is billionaire Bill Koch's fascination with the Old West rendered in bricks and mortar. It sits on a 420-acre meadow on his Bear Ranch below the Raggeds Wilderness Area in Gunnison County. It's an unpopulated, faux Western town that might boggle the mind of anyone who ever had a playhouse. Its full-size buildings come with polished brass and carved-mahogany details and are fronted with board sidewalks and Koch's project manager has told county officials that the enclave in the middle of the 6,400-acre Bear Ranch won't ever be open to the public. It is simply for Koch's amusement and for that of his family and friends and historians. It is the ultimate repository for his huge collection of Western memorabilia.

(1,369 posts)last fall when I took some friends from back East to see the Canyon City/Royal Gorge area to discover that
"he bought out the Buckskin Joe Western town near Cañon City for $3.1 million in 2010" (from the referenced article). I felt like he had stolen some of the history of that area.
