Visiting Denver, CO – Sep 2021

I spent about five days in the Denver area. I stayed with an old friend from high school.  I hadn’t spent more than a few hours with him since high school so it was really wonderful catching up!  Most of my time there was spent at his house working although I did get out and do some exploring.  One thing I learned while here is that one week is not enough time to be in Denver.

I was able to play a few disc golf courses in the area.  Honestly, not the best courses I’ve played but I did enjoy them none the less.  There was a small 9 basket course not far from the house and there was one course that had prairie dogs all over!  I’ve never seen prairie dogs before.  Very cure.

I had the opportunity to see Squeeze and Hall & Oates in concert at the new Ball Arena in downtown Denver.

I was able to spend some quality time with my buddy and explored some of downtown Denver.

I like trying the local foods when I visit new places and I checked online to see what was recommended in Denver.  The Buckhorn Exchange is one of the oldest taverns in Denver and the Internet suggested I go there to try the Colorado Oysters.  As adventurous as I feel I am, I couldn’t do it.  I tried rattlesnake instead!

Rattlesnake!
