Broncos vs. Raiders game

My friend, Brooke, is the biggest football fan I know… which is saying something! She’s always been a Peyton Manning fan, so you can imagine her absolute glee when she found out he was going to be playing for the Broncos. She is also extremely proud that I’ve become a football fan and I’ve learned a lot about the game from her. Earlier this month she asked me if I’d like to go to a game with her and I, of course, agreed! We had a great time, driving over the mountains (with lots of Starbucks stops) and the game was AMAZING! I got such a kick out of all the fans… there is nothing like being surrounded by 75,000 like-minded people! After the win, we walked out of the stadium, giving high-fives to random people as we left. The cheering was so loud that it left my ears ringing! It was such a fun day with one of my best buddies! Here are a few pics from the trip:

    I mostly follow your blog for the pictures of Colorado. I grew up there and at times I’m terribly home sick. Thanks for the great pictures in this one, it brought back a lot of great memories. Especially of Idaho Springs.

    Even thought I don’t live there (currently I’m in Sacramento, Ca.), I’m still a die hard Bronco fan!! I haven’t been in the new stadium, but remember the old one very well. My ex Father-in-law had season tickets.

    The last time I was in Grand Junction was August of 1969, I imagine it has changed a lot. Again, thanks for the pictues . . . Steve
