Day 4 – June 12 – Denver, Colorado (continued)

Here is just a quick blog note about the Coors Field experience. What a view of the Rocky Mountains from Coors Field. That was a spectacular view. We got to the stadium after walking from the hotel in plenty of time before the 6:40 start. One thing I realized during the walk to and from the stadium is that Denver is indeed a mile high. I got a little winded on that brisk walk, as did the other old guy, Pat. We had to make the decision whether to eat at the stadium or wait and have a late dinner at Elway’s at the Ritz Carlton. Since we didn’t eat much between Los Angeles and Denver we decided to eat at the ballpark. Besides, I never really cared for John Elway when he was played for the Broncos so I didn’t really want to eat at his restaurant. I was afraid the special of the day would be the Mr. Ed steak, otherwise known as I’ll Have Another. We chose to start out eating at the stadium at Helton’s Burger Shack. I chose the Helton Combo myself. Well it’s off to bed and another early wakeup call for the 600 miles trek to Kansas City tomorrow morning.
