Boulder Viewings Sept. 14
As I have mentioned before, I am offering to take people to see the a couple of places prior to heading up to Estes Park.
One of them is McGuckins. I was thinking we could head over there @ 9:00a, or so (Depending on Traffic and where you are staying on Thursday evening.
A short discription on McGuckins is as follows;
It all began in 1955 when our company’s namesake, a rugged, avid fisherman named Bill McGuckin, opened the doors of McGuckin Hardware. Employing four people in four departments, his success was based on his belief in personalized service, selection and first-hand experience. McGuckin Hardware currently employs around an average of 250 people on its 60,000+ square foot sales floor.
After touring through Mcguckins, for those who want to, we are going to go to Celestial Seasonings.
We would leave Mcguckins, grab a bite to eat, if you are hungry, then head over to Celestial Seasonings @ 12:30p.
Here is a short discription of the tour;
Guest Tours
Join us for a Sensational Experience!
The tour is FREE and takes 45 minutes.

Walk through our Art Gallery and view original paintings from our tea boxes, created by some of the country's most famous illustrators. And visit our eclectic collection of very Celestial teapots and teacups.

Michael,
Lloyd and I will meet you and the gang at the Hardware store at 9:00 a.m. on Friday morning. We want to also visit the tea factory. Thanks so much for offering this special side trip before heading up to Estes Park.
Gerry
Shirley and I would like to meet up and have lunch with the group and make the Celestial Seasonings tour. We will be coming from Colorado Springs and trying to make the 9:00 meeting with the Denver Traffic going on, well I just can't make it. We could exchange cell phone numbers or meet at a time and place. PM me the details.
Thanks,
Bob

I've got cell phone numbers...But why don't we meet everyone at Mcguckins.
That way ever one can get there, by their own route. The Nelsons are staying in Broomfield, just down the road, while kart3d is closer to Northglen. Meanwhile Diane and I will be in Higlands Ranch, and I was thinking of taking the 470 route around the city to miss the traffic.
If you are coming from the south, Denver area, go North on Highway 36. You will cross baseline Rd. and 36 will become 28th St.. Drive north, past the collegge and when you come to Arapahoe, turn left. We will be on the left. Look for the rubber kneckers.

After slumming around the Mcguckins Hardware store, for an hour or more (if someone gets lost), we will travel onward and upward to Celestial Seasonings
Hi Michael,
Lloyd and I will be staying at the Best Western Boulder Inn on 28th St. on Thursday night. We will meet you at the hardware store at 9:00 a.m. Once again, thanks for organizing these tours. See you on Sept. 14th. I'll PM Lloyd's new cell number.
