Rick Posted November 27, 2011 Report Share Posted November 27, 2011 On a whim I decided to go to Colorado for spring break. I think I get there March 12ish. Any suggestions on sites to see, feats to conquer, food to eat, etc.? Quote If | Current 6 Week Challenge | Captain's Log | Rick's Workout Log | Bucket List Link to comment
Oogiem Posted November 28, 2011 Report Share Posted November 28, 2011 Any suggestions on sites to see, feats to conquer, food to eat, etc.? Haven't been to Denver in a couple of years so I can't help with sights, but you really need to find a restaurant with really good Rocky Mountain Oysters. I'll see if I can find a place that makes them right. Best is hot off the now steer into a frying pan over the branding fire but barring that some restaurants do a good job too.

Rick Posted November 28, 2011 Author Report Share Posted November 28, 2011 Awesome, that goes on the list! Quote If | Current 6 Week Challenge | Captain's Log | Rick's Workout Log | Bucket List Link to comment
Oogiem Posted November 28, 2011 Report Share Posted November 28, 2011 OK Here are 2 well recommended restaurants.The Fort in Morrison, outside of Denver to the west near the big hogback. I've eaten there a lot but it was about 30 years ago. It was my favorite place to go to when I lived over on that side of the mountains. They are still ranked high so I'd expect their food to be good. http://www.thefort.com/ They will also have a lot of game meat that shoudl also be very well done.The only other restaurant that is coming up as a possibility is Buckhorn Exchange. I've never eaten there. It's billed as a touristy place so beware but they do list Rocky Mountain Oysters on the menu. http://www.buckhorn.com/This article talks about other places to get them but I know nothing about the author. http://www.5280.com/magazine/2010/02/rocky-mountain-oystersIf you drink beer, Falling Rock Tap House in LoDo is good, been there several times. Don't know about food there but assume it's decent pub grub. http://fallingrocktaphouse.com/Only times we went to Denver was to take fleeces to the wool mill, and when they closed we found one nearer to us so haven't been back in a while. Hope that helps. Quote Oogie McGuire Black Sheep Shepherdess STR 4.25 | DEX 4.5 | STA 3.75 | CON 3 | WIS 4.75 | CHA 1 Link to comment

Rick Posted November 29, 2011 Author Report Share Posted November 29, 2011 Thanks folks! Oogie, I'm definitely looking forward to Colorado craft brews! Erik, I hope it's warm enough to get out there. I haven't done any serious climbing, but I'll be in shape to do it by then. I'll prepare myself! Quote If | Current 6 Week Challenge | Captain's Log | Rick's Workout Log | Bucket List Link to comment
