14 May 2019 Estes Park

David worked most of the morning and early afternoon. After his last telecon, we drove into Estes Park to walk the quaint downtown district. First stop was lunch at Casa Grande Mexican restaurant. We needed a good Mexican fix. We sat out on the patio and watched the Big Thompson River flowing by. The food was actually pretty good, so we had found our Mexican Food for the remainder of our stay. We found an outdoor shop, Kirk’s Fly Shop, around the corner and David purchased us some “Yak Tracks”, which are chains with spikes that you pull over your hiking boots to give you traction on snow and ice. So next time, we will be prepared. While we were there we also inquired about their guided fly-fishing classes. We liked what we heard, but held off making reservations to see how the weather was going to pan out. While wandering through the shops we found some tee shirts (the ones in the National Park store were pretty lame). The stores started closing around 4:30 so we headed off to find a local brewery. We had noticed one on the way to the RV park and ended up there, Estes Park Brewery, as our first choice. The beer was ok, but its not a very inviting layout or decor. We decided we won’t go back there.
