WHAT WENT DOWN IN COLORADO

February 11, 2022

Welcome back to the What Went Down series, where I make a list of vague events that happened to me while traveling and people who don’t understand the meaning read them for no particular reason.

I lived in Colorado for the last month in a small mountain town called Lyons. There was a river and a small grocery store and coffee shop that baked bread loaves. There was a also a margarita bar that i was unable to indulge in but was very tempting structure to walk by daily. Here’s what went down.

-Drove to Lyons, moved in.

-Walked around town at night and saw all the mountain houses lit up.

-Started Whole30 which I wouldn’t wish on anyone in the world.

-Discovered Longmont and almost got scammed at JiffyLube.

– Went on a walk around the doc park and realized how beautiful Lyons is.

-Found Moxie, the plan I soon purchased weekly americanos and meat sticks from.

-Found St. Vrain market, accidentally paid $10 to join their loyalty program.

-Made the couch into bed.

-Cooked a lot of stews.

-Met up with Sarah in Boulder for dinner.

-Went on a full moon night hike with the Airbnb host and her friends.

-Worked my 9-5, lol.

-Went to Fort Collins to see Lyndi.

-Hiked the reservoir which was in peak mud season. Continued to hike and exited with mud up to our ankles.

-Somehow ended up at a college bar drinking soda water and hot coffee.

-Went to go get our nails done and ended up at the wrong place.

-Scoped out the Best Western hot tub. Finally got in 10 minutes before closing.

-Ate a lot of applesauce and La Croix.

-Went to Starbucks with Lyndi in the AM. Said farewell.

-Worked.

-Went to Boulder for the weekend.

-Found the juice shop Wonder and had a life changing smoothie.

-Hiked for the day, got lost a couple times, made it out okay.

-Became a regular at Cava.

-Worked.

-Went to Estes Park and ate a Rotisserie chicken in the Jimmy Johns parking lot.

-Saw the hotel from The Shining.

-Went to Rocky Mountain National Park and almost got swept away by a snow wind storm.

-Stopped by Colorado Cherry Factory and bought a lot of cherry goods.

-Packed up.

-Met up with the Airbnb host and her friends at Prickly Pear for a live show, dead sober.

-Woke up at 6am and got on the road.

-Stopped at the Garden of The Gods. Looked at some rocks.

-Went to Great Sand Dunes National Park.

-Hiked up the dunes. Got caught in a snow storm. Almost couldn’t make it to the top due to my lack of athletic ability.

-Bought a personal bag of beef jerky at a local Conoco.

-Made it to Taos, NM.
