Colorado 092011

Beer and Buffalo Bill



A recent run to the Denver area found me visiting Golden, CO for the day. A fine experience captured in photographs.





Coors Brewery – Golden, CO


Worth the time to visit and explore!


“Since 1873 the Coors brewery has thrived on a legacy of quality, innovation and customer service. The tour showcases the company’s history and passion for brewing.







Your tour takes place in the world’s largest single-site brewery. The brewery experience includes a 30-minute self-paced tour highlighting our malting, brewing and packaging processes. Cool off in the “fresh beer room," where visitors sip a cold sample and rest on ice-cube benches in a refrigerated room.”

I even got to watch a terrorist drill going on at the Denver Airport while waiting for my return flight. A fine end to a fine trip.

Montana Memories 2011

Montana Memories


We had a wonderful adventure exploring the fine State of Montana. The last week of July found us starting in Missoula, then on to Bison Range, Glacier, Great Falls, on towards Butte, and finishing off where we started. A fine circle of some great views, not to mention several photo stops along the way, that added to great memories!
