Welcome [MENTION=108562]dkeester[/MENTION]

I love Phở as well. We have some awesome Phở houses here in the Salt Lake Valley! We share a lot of similar hobbies!

Hopefully as the group grows we could start maybe a pass around box that is centralized to these states!

Thanks!

We have several Phở places in and around Denver. Most of them are really good.

I like the idea of a pass around box. I have a couple of things that I could contribute.

Quintessential Colorado for me: fly-fishing heaven! Seriously, if anyone wants to go camp out and fish some weekend, I'm in!

 

[cvargo]

Welcome [MENTION=108196]dexutter[/MENTION]

If i'm in the area or you are in mine I will take you up on fly-fishing! I LOVE IT!

A few years back Field and Stream voted the Provo river in the top 3 of trout fisheries in the world. I also fish the Green river and Colorado river a few times a year. We also have some great lakes and reservoirs here where you can catch some great trout. And if Bass are your game we have that as well. I've wanted to get into home brewing but haven't done it yet. Maybe one day.

Excellent! I mainly fish the South Platte here in CO, but my favorite fishing may be Spring Creek outside of Almont, CO. It's amazing out there! Also; Home brewing: do it. It's fun, and easier than you'd think (granted, it's another hobby, so...)

[MENTION=102039]Jaidmaster[/MENTION] welcome Jonah!

Lovely pics! I have been to boulder twice once for a football game and once for a basketball game. That is an awesome college town and the scenery is beautiful! Very cold in November but beautiful.

 

[Jaidmaster]

It can be a bit busy for my taste, but it is a pretty cool college town. The performers on Pearl Street Mall are entertaining.
I love living in the rocky mountains!

It's awesome that you actually live in them! I just live next to 'em... You're making me want to get out and hike!

The drawback is a long commute to work. About 50 minutes each way. But it's worth it to me.

Making your own straight razors... that is really cool!

[Jaidmaster]

Hi [MENTION=74023]bluesman 7[/MENTION]! I drive through Lafayette most days on my way home from work.
Have you been to the big flea market there? I've been meaning to stop and see what they have.
Would love to see some pics of your straights. I will try one some day.
I picked up a cheap shavette awhile back, but it's so light, it feels like I have to force it across my face.

 

[Fordfather]

Count me in.
