Yes, we have television. Most of the rural homes have satellite dishes to
provide signals. Many areas are graced with cable TV, while some still rely on rabbit ears to bring in a remote station from hundreds of miles away.

Woody Creek is an unincorporated
community in Pitkin County, Colorado.
It is located in the valley of
the Roaring Fork River eight miles northwest of Aspen, along Colorado State Highway 82,
where Woody Creek exits a canyon and joins the Roaring Fork. It is situated at
the northwest end of a small valley that stretches southeast along the Roaring
Fork to Aspen.
The community is centered around
the Woody Creek Tavern, a well-known landmark located at 0002 Woody Creek Plaza,
which is actually part of Upper River Road. It is somewhat concealed from State
Highway 82. Adjacent to the Tavern is a trailer park. Residents of Woody Creek are known
as Woody Creatures.
Woody Creek was the residence of
noted author Hunter S. Thompson at the time of his death. It also is/has been
the home of several other notable popular musicians and celebrities, including the late Ed Bradley (60 Minutes),
Don Henley of the Eagles, John Oates (Hall and Oates) voted as Aspen's Best Musician for 2006, actor Don Johnson and his actor/musician son, Jesse.
There is no mail delivery in
Woody Creek. Residents must have a post office box if they want to get mail.
Renters are provided a free box with their proof of residency and rental agreement. Those who do not rent from home owners must pay an annual fee
for a post office box.
The post office is located at 7909 Upper River Road, or a few tenth's of a mile
from the Woody Creek Tavern.
Also located within the Woody
Creek Plaza, connected to the same building at the Tavern, is the Woody Creek
Art Studio, owned and operated by Larry Lefner. This small studio space was the
previous location for the post office for several years.
At the west end of the combined
structure that houses the art studio and tavern, is what is formerly known as the Woody Creek Store. In
May 2006, it closed as a small community grocery store for
an indefinite period when it was 'flagged' by the Pitkin County building
department.
In March 2006, when store manager Ann Owsley applied for a building permit to
expand the store's food preparation capabilities, the building department
unexpectedly discovered the building had never been formally authorized for
commercial use. It was still listed as a residence in county records, dating
back to the time when it was home to the managers of the Woody Creek Trailer
Park, located behind and on both sides of the structure.
The building was under remodeling for over a year and recently reopened with a new identity as the Woody Creek
Community Center Inc. WC3 to keep it simple.
On June 1, 2007, Shep and Mary Harris, owners of the Woody Creek Tavern, handed over the keys to the establishment to new owners, Kevin Willson and Laura Wren.
Although Woody Creatures may smile at you and seem friendly to visitors, it is because it is known you will continue on your journey and not overstay your welcome. Woody Creatures
abhor growth associated with greedheads. Unless you have an official invitation to stay longer than it takes you to eat your burger and drink your margarita, it's best if you "move along now; nothing to see here."

Aspen has an unruly neighbor that sits on a creek The sunny side of a mountain sure hides a freak It’s a place they call home and they’re never alone Better run from that wagon before it gets blown
Just do the Woody Creek Shuffle Just do the Woody Creek Shuffle Doing the Woody Freak Scuffle Just do the Woody Creek Shuffle They’re all Gonzo in Hunter’s Mayberry!
If I had it my way I'd be in love all the time, all over the world, with a gun in one hand, a type-writer in the other and a belly full of good whiskey.... Res Ipsa Loquitur
Oh Woody Creek, how I miss you! I used to live the wonderful Trailer Park with 3 other dudes (and one hot chick for a bit) in the '90's when I was a jock at KSPN. Best time of my life!!! Doing laundry at the Park and drinking beer at the Tavern while it dried. Good times!

Hello from New Jersey! 2 friends and myself are taking a road tip to Woody Creek next summer. We're planning on arriving July 18th; which of course is HST's birthday. Are there any special festivities going on in town and at the tavern on that day? Either way we're still making our pilgrimage to pay our repects.
Hey, Hope your Tuesday is going along well. It's been a good day here so far, just taking a small lunch break and wanted to say hi. Have a great rest of day. much love ~adrian adriannrhen. com
Joe and I had the best day at Woody Creek and the Tavern! Thanks! The weather was perfect - thanks for the warm welcome and for buying my soldier and I a beer. It was a real adventure to get up there - and we can't wait to come back!
