A two week riding trip of the historic Alaska Highway, also known as the Alaska-Canadian Highway, or simply the Al-Can, put me a little behind on posting, but I have had some wonderful local experiences. By the way, yes, we, the dog and I, made it. From Denver through Wyoming, Montana, Canadian provinces Alberta and British Columbia and then “North to Alaska” the whole trip was 6,645 miles. Yikes!
By the way, a recap of the trip appears on my website – mikeboyle.com. There is both a blog with photos, or you can listen to the recap on my podcast.
Closer to home, the breakfast burrito at My House Café in Monument is worth a visit.
I also stopped in Masonville, Colorado, about 15 miles west of Fort Collins and Horsetooth Reservoir, to check out the new, but historic, Masonville Mercantile. Makes for a nice day trip.
Tried the new Boil Daddy off Powers and Stetson Hills in Colorado Springs. I had a combo platter. Place focuses on seafood. You check it out and let me know what you think. And stopped by the new Rock’s 24 Pizzeria on Highway 24. Chicago style pizza.
A listener told me about the specials at Buffalo Wild Wings. I like wings, so checked out the place in Castle Rock. Good wings, good specials. They will be participating in this year’s Taste of Douglas County coming up August 21st. See; tasteofdouglascounty.com
Checked out the Yemen Grill. Two locations. One in Aurora off Parker Road and Havana, and the other is by D.U. on East Evans (the old Fagan’s). Had a good, filling gyros sandi.
Finally, stopped by an old standby, The South on South Huron in Englewood. Wanted to try something different, so had the biscuits & gravy breakfast burrito. A very plain presentation, but good portion and very delicious. Always enjoy the dog friendly patio, friendly service. Most of the staff have worked there for years, so you will always find them upbeat and happy to serve you.
