Sgt. John Campbell, SASS #58165 48 Posted July 27, 2011 Share Posted July 27, 2011 Casa Bonita...Casa Bonita!!!! Link to post Share on other sites
Painted Filly 3 Posted July 27, 2011 Share Posted July 27, 2011 There is a shoot at byers this sunday then Casa Bonita!!!!!!!!! There is also a shoot on Saturday in Wellington. Depends on which weekend you can shoot every weekend. Let me know when and I will tell you where to shoot! Painted Filly Link to post Share on other sites
Grizzly Dave 962 Posted July 27, 2011 Share Posted July 27, 2011 Well, I am in that area pretty much every Sunday afternoon, I like to sit out in the shop, watch a western and load some ammo. Casa Bonita is fun if you haven't been there before and especially if you have kids along. there is a great train museum in Golden, not sure if it's open Sundays or not. A drive up Boulder canyon and then across the peak to peak highway to Estes Park might be something you'd enjoy. Or skip that and just go up to Estes and then into Rocky Mountain National Park. All depends on what you are interested in. Grizz Link to post Share on other sites
Wild Nick Billock SASS #53521 0 Posted July 27, 2011 Author Share Posted July 27, 2011 Thanks, I always thought casa bonita was mythical but I see they have a webpage. Too bad my little son is not coming he would probably like that. Link to post Share on other sites

Grizzly Dave 962 Posted July 27, 2011 Share Posted July 27, 2011 If you like people watching, the Pearl Street pedestrian mall in downtown Boulder will fit the bill. If you want to drive a bit south of Denver, you might find the Colorado Renaissance Festival interesting. Grizz Link to post Share on other sites
Bodine 0 Posted July 27, 2011 Share Posted July 27, 2011 I never fully understood Mork & Mindy until I went to Boulder on a visit to my Aunt in Broomfield back in 1994. Made perfect sense after that! I believe an alien could very easily go un-noticed there. Is that returaunt still open in Denver that has the free glass of wine offer if you dress ins some "period" frontier garb? I went to the Front-Range gun club shoot while I was out there. Went through on my way to Ft. Collins about four years ago but didn't have time to sight-see or stop.

Charlie Harley, #14153 3,258 Posted July 27, 2011 Share Posted July 27, 2011 I second Grizz's idea of the walking plaza in downtown Boulder. Nice restaurants, interesting people, and a great way to spend an afternoon if that's all the time you have. A drive up to Estes Park and Rocky Mountain National Park would also be an afternoon of more outdoor fun. Link to post Share on other sites

Seldom Seen #16162 28 Posted July 27, 2011 Share Posted July 27, 2011 Try a horseback ride in the mountains. Nothing like sitting on the back of a horse to see nature the way God made it. You city dudes need to get out and enjoy the real America. Link to post Share on other sites

Seldom Seen #16162 28 Posted July 28, 2011 Share Posted July 28, 2011 Does the Coors brewery in Golden still give tours?? Not since my Uncle Pat died there. Uncle Pat was a Irishman who worked most of his life at the Coors plant until one day he accidently fell into one of the vats. His co-workers tried gallantly to save him from but Uncle Pat fought them off three times before he drown. They said he kept diving to the bottom of the vat, smiling and drinking the beer. Per his last request we had his body cremated. It was the longest cremation I ever attended. His body burned for three days. Link to post Share on other sites
