I can attest to the incredible experience of the pilgrimage to Denver. Seems like the best time to share this for those who day dreamed for just a moment when Mase spoke of making the trip.
This year my best mate and I made our way to Co. for our 30th (my wife fully signed off, I wasn’t exiled). Landed into a late summer day in October before heading up to Estes park, woke up in the morning and a snow storm had rolled in. Hiked in a white out in RMNP, with golden leaves of the aspen all around.
Then down to Denver. Started on the amazing Denver beers At 12 in Lodo, saw Avs win in OT vs the Coyotes, then more beers. Then, Gameday vs the Titans. Tailgate with DNVR was exceptional. Strawberry Sky on ice, people doing fireball shots and Mase chuckling to his own jokes, mobbed by a mass. Then on to the stadium, and who else do I walk with, but Zach Stevens.
Never was there a more broromantic stroll. A memory for a life time.
The game was everything I hoped – Defensive domination.
After a recovery day, up Pikes peak we went. 5:30am kickoff and at the summit by 2pm – staying at Camp Barr overnight on the way back.
Chiefs for Thursday night football was incredible until 10 minutes into the first quarter. But hey, getting the highs and lows is what fandom is all about.
10 days. Amazing trip. We did it all. Had breck brews, went to the Green Solution and picked up my sonic care tooth brush at Green mountain dental. Didn’t go to DRC because I felt like that would be hard to explain to my good wife that the rubber company only helps plough snow.
Amazing trip. Won’t be my last.
If you’re thinking about it. Do it. Just do it.
P.s (Anyone work in Banking in Co. – I need to speak to you if you do – make my dream come true!!)
