MyShadowProductions #35 - Day Trip #10 - Denver to Golden

Golden, the home of COORS Beer, is an easy day trip from Denver on the RTD 16 bus.

The 16 bus starts at Colfax and Broadway in Denver and goes all the way to Downtown Golden.

A large part of the bus ride is on West Colfax Avenue. Colfax in it’s entirety is one of the longest continuous streets in the USA.

The bus ride can be a Day Trip of it’s own, if you are so inclined. The ride can be gritty, eye opening, sad, bumpy, loud, quiet, enlightening, well timed and just about any other human emotion you might think of.

Here is a little history of Golden:

I hope you enjoy the following movie/video created from my photos in Golden and along the Clear Creek Trail:

By the way, MyShadow says “HI” from second base area of the local ball diamond :)

I tried lunch from El Callejon Latin Food. I ordered the special for the day, Colombian Plate.

It consisted of morcilla, arepas and black beans, including a chipotle sauce and a red salsa.

It was good but if I had googled morcilla before ordering, I might have changed my mind :)

Morcilla is a Spanish blood sausage with rice mixed in.

Arepas are made from ground corn and are sprinkled with cheese.

Black beans are just that.

Here is my latest attempt at a Foodie photo:

The temperature today was approaching 70 but tomorrow the predicted high is 34 with snow :)

Just in case you were wondering.
