GOLDEN COLORADO 5/24 - 5/26

Today is Memorial Day and we are at the Dakota Ridge RV Resort in Golden Co.
Golden is a very nice area west of Denver nestled up to the mountains. We went to the Outback Restaurant Saturday night after we went to church here and as we were ordering we were greeted with the tornado sirens. Eileen of course was not concerned at all until the hail started. My thoughts were that we were better off in a building than in our RV. The hail lasted about fifteen minutes and eventually the sirens stopped. Just another Spring night in Golden.

Late Sunday morning we decided to visit Camping World down the street then we went off to Golden to visit the brewery. Went we got to the brewery tour they told us it would be a two hour wait. We decided that going to lunch and drinking a beer was a better option. Guess what, as we were ordering our meal it started to hail. The hail that was at times almost marble size lasted for about 30 minutes. Everyone took pictures and the people most concerned were those of us from out of town. The locals are used to it I guess. The bottom line is the Buffalo burger and the beer were both very good.



He didn't come out of the hail.
 
 


A handful.


We then headed to the Southern side of Denver to visit Cabelas Sporting Goods. Guess what, while we were in the store it hailed outside. Fortunately I haven't had any damage to my car in spite of all this ice falling from the sky. We later went to a outlet mall and talking to some local folks they told us that the hail and rainy weather is normal for the Spring although it is a little late this year. Not my ideal weather. At least we know when the hurricanes are coming back home.

Today we rest at the campground and get ready to move3 on to Moab Utah tomorrow.
We have the flags out and we will be thinking about the many braves souls who died for our freedom.
