Colorado trip

I have family in Boulder ... about 45ish minutes from Denver ... and I fall in love with the city every time I go there. Great people and a great place to stay and kill some time. Even if it's for a day, you'll find plenty of things to do.

Make sure to check out Pearl Street if you do.

 

Just don't make the trip to South Park... My wife is from Denver and when we were there about nine years ago and the show was exploding, I made her go with me to South Park so we could get our pictures taken in front of the sign.

If memory serves, it was four hours from Denver...

BTW, go to Red Rocks... I don't care if it's Steelheart opening for Winger, go see a concert at Red Rocks...

 

"Steelheart opening for Winger ..."
I've been laughing at that for the past 10 minutes.

 

Winger is actually from Golden... I'm sure they're proud...

 

You kidding me? BYH would fucking crawl to Red Rocks to see that show!

Underrated area is in southwest Colorado, if you get a chance to see it. I stayed a couple of days in Durango when I lived out west, and it was fabulous if you like outdoorsy shit. Rode my mountain bike to the top of Durango City Mountain (seven miles, ugh), but the view was so outstanding. You can see like a dozen 13,000-foot peaks from there. Fantastic. And the ride back was fun. Also, Ouray and Silverton and Telluride are down in that area, plus Mesa Verde National Park near Cortez.

 

Bo-ring. with crappy beer. You want the brewery tour, go to Ft. Collins and do the New Belgium Brewery. And then get schnockered (sp?) on Fat Tire afterward.

Much simpler tour, closer to the actual process, better people, far better beer.

 

I did the Coors tour when I was in Golden for a friend's wedding. We ended up sitting there making Zima jokes for most of the day. And Blue Moon, awful Coors swill, is brewed there. It was fun since I was in town, but I wouldn't go out of my way to take the tour again.

 

Great.

Now I'll be singing, "I'll neeeeevvvvvvveeeeerrrrr leeeeeeetttttttttt yoooooooouuuuuuuuu gggggggggggooooooooooo" for the next hour.

bastards.

bastards all.

 

Been to Wolf Creek......Pagosa Springs is one of the most beautiful little villages in the world.
