Andyjo Posted February 25, 2007 Share Posted February 25, 2007 Alright, so this spring break my girlfiend and i are heading out to Colorodo. We're planning on making my sister's place in Golden our basecamp. So, what is there to do in Colorodo? we've been looking up stuff, planning on skiing at least once, maybe some hiking, of course the coors factory tour , some national parks, if they're open would be cool. We were also thinking of heading down to see the Royal Gorge Bridge, and check out Colorodo Springs for a day or so. So if anyone has ideas or what to do, or wants to hangout, go skiing, maybe some hiking, let us know, we're open to ideas. We'll be sportin' the OBXT, so i won't be wheelin' her too hard Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jeffast Posted February 25, 2007 Share Posted February 25, 2007 if your gonna be here on the 25th of maythere is a massive new school meet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andyjo Posted February 25, 2007 Author Share Posted February 25, 2007 Hmm.. i may miss that by a day technically our break is march 16-26... but it's also a 1700 mile drive back to school Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrKrazy Posted February 25, 2007 Share Posted February 25, 2007 Tons of stuff to do, skiing, boarding, checking out the sites. I've been all over the US and still feel Colorado is one of the most beautiful states (biased of course since I live here too). Maybe us locals can have a mini meet while your out here. If you do want to take the Coors Tour drop me a PM and I should be able to get you into a V.I.P. Tour. I work for the company that does all of Coors Marketing, and should be able to pull some strings. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikeshoup Posted February 25, 2007 Share Posted February 25, 2007 If you guys do a VIP tour... can I come to? If you are into trying micro brews, there's a small brewery in Golden, ran by a Chem E. from CSM. Their oatmeal stout is so good. We can all definitely get together and have a BBQ while you are around or something. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheYeti Posted February 26, 2007 Share Posted February 26, 2007 nah man. screw the coors tour. seems like nobody in colorado drinks coors (it sucks anyway) While I won't argue the whole micro brew better than Coors thing... You sir, are a strange little man. It is free beer! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
operose Posted February 26, 2007 Share Posted February 26, 2007 While I won't argue the whole micro brew better than Coors thing... You sir, are a strange little man. It is free beer! but you can get coors anywhere and it sucks :cool: plus we went to some brewpub where you could see the huge brewery in a glass room in the middle of the building anyway (I see your point though.. $3-$4 beers gets old fast) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikeshoup Posted February 26, 2007 Share Posted February 26, 2007 I'll take free Blue Moon any day. Killian's and Blue Moon are just about the only Coors beer I'll drink. Molson isn't that bad either. Plus, you can get Zima if you so desire (we reserve that right for the chicks in our group usually). Best thing about going to CSM here in Golden, is the Coors brewery "Short Tour"s. Walk up to the tour desk, say, "Short Tour!". They swipe your ID, print off a wrist band, and send you off your way. You can walk right to the bar, and get three free 10oz beers of most anything Coors makes/sells. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maximumBRAT Posted February 27, 2007 Share Posted February 27, 2007 Yellowstone is probably at least 7 hours away from Golden. Ick. Might be worth it if you're hardcore nature people. If it's nice, come up to Fort Collins and I'll get the ricer brigade and the local Subie folks to take you on a touge run Colorado style. If you and your girl are into cars, check out FTC cruising, hardly anyone cruises Denver in favor for Fort Collins on Friday nights. If it's warm out, it's especially worth it. Do you like to fly fish? get a tour in any river. Hike? Awesome hiking up Left Hand Canyon (close to Golden) and around Carter/Horsetooth Reservoir. Camp? Well it's probably going to be a bit chilly, but there's tons of good places for a very quiet, unsupervised campout. Brewery Tours? Odell and New Belgum are both ehre in Fort Collins. Crazy historical stuff? Check out the old German POW camp by windsor or the museum between Longmont and Boulder on 287. Food and Hippies and wierd college life? Boulder. The nation's largest independent Subaru Repair shop? Super Rupair in Boulder. Shooting? Pawnee Grasslands. Nuff said. You could check if there's a local auto-X too. Anyway.. What are you interested in?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

operose Posted March 14, 2007 Share Posted March 14, 2007 yeah, because when i get back to NY, the 'mountians' here are 'hills' there you bet man. the last time I went out there was the funniest, because the guy I went with had never been out of Upstate NY if you do go to boulder, there are some great short hikes just outside of town that we did when we went, but I can't remember any trail names or anything. just google "hiking in boulder" or something Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mikeshoup Posted March 19, 2007 Share Posted March 19, 2007 Look for a Red EA81 Turbo wagon scotting around in Golden. I'll be driving it. Wave if you see me! Whereabouts in Golden are you at? I live around Ford and 7th, opposite side of town that Keith lives at. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
