We parked the RV in the northwest Denver area at Westminster Elks Lodge fine RV parking area. They have developed 40 spaces for RVs, ranging in hookups from electric only to full hookups including 50 amp electric. From there we visited many people and places in the Denver area. One day we went to the Colorado Railroad Museum, followed by lunch in Golden and a visit to the Coors Brewery’ hospitality room. Downtown Golden was the most photogenic
Golden’s downtown was busy, with no vacant stores. Beside being home to the original Coors brewery, the Colorado School of Mines is in Golden, accounting for the many young people we saw. Golden was the first capitol of Colorado.
There is lots of statuary in downtown Golden. Adolph Coors is next to Jo.
Here a boy is helping his sister mount a patient horse.
This prospector must have just found a nice gold nugget. Even his burro is celebrating!
We had to stand in the busy street for a passerby who insisted that we both be in the picture he took .
This statue shows what a cowboy does on his day off – he goes fly fishing! The trout is in the lower right corner.
This small brewing kettle greets visitors to the Coors brewery. I was surprised to learn that Coors and Miller have a joint venture whereby Miller beers are brewed in this brewery while Coors products are brewed in Miller breweries. Formerly, all Coors products were made in this facility.
We had a great visit with cousin “Birchie” Wilson in her very nice assisted living facility. Her mother and my farther were cousins and we visit her whenever we are in the Denver area.
Birchie is going strong at 88!
