The Denver Traveler

The car commuters of Denver have probably already heard of this great deal we are about to share with you but for those of you planning on coming to town- listen up and don’t change that dial.

A few of the radio stations in Denver are offering some fantastic on-line specials. That is right, the radio rises again to help save our pocket books. You may not think much of radio and internet crossing over unless you click onto a radio site to listen. However, it has happened in the form of what they call a Cyber Sidewalk Sale.

Layering
Colorado’s weather can be unpredictable. Often starting cool and getting very hot with very little warning and then cooling off just as rapidly at sunset.
Be sure to pack items of clothing that can be layered.

It doesn’t have to be a jacket or a sweater, simply another shirt that can be easily removed and carried around …read more

As we neared the place I saw the sun glinting off of what looked like a skeleton in a coffin, adorned with chains and other grinning skulls. I thought to myself that I wasn’t seeing what I was seeing, there was no way that was a huge green face with bulging eyes sticking out of a window….. was it?
Turns out, that’s exactly what it was.
Being someone who enjoys the macabre from time to time, I knew I had to get in …read more

Pull out all the stops- go for broke with your signature style, just make sure it covers your head and that it preferably have a brim to shield your face and your eyes. You may want to pick a hat made of a breathable material, say- straw, or mesh, or natural cotton as the sun is hot. Denver …read more
