Know of any other out of the way watering holes on the order of the Bucksnort Saloon? Mix of asphalt and dirt/gravel desired.

Is anything on the order of the Bucksnort?
There can be only one.

No, I wasn't aware that it had closed. It has been quite a few years since my last trip up there with Lee Armstrong, Sea Knight on Ih8mud if you have read any of his stories there. Moose Drool was his favorite beer and I knew that Bucksnort had it on tap so off we went. Lee was impressed with the Bucksnort Saloon which is saying something from a frequentor of the Armadillo in Luckenbach, Texas.

Is the Sprucewood Cafe still in business on the way to the Rampart Range west of Sedalia? Used to be good for a bowl of chili and a beer after a day of dirtbiking way back when.

I'm really hoping to hear the back half of the "Saving the Old Rustbucket" story one day.

The most interesting bar I've ever found is called the Solitario Bar, which is located in Big Bend State Park and takes GPS coordinates to locate. There are some really neat old places down here in Teller County as well, but nothing quite as interesting and difficult to find as the Bucksnort. We've had some fun times over there. Glad they are finally back open.

If you're out my way in California, the Parkfield Cafe is worth a stop. You want to either come in or leave via the road to the north to Parkfield Junction (but not in wet weather) for the dirt experience. Best time of year is spring for the wildflowers.

Do you know a dirt road that will get us there?
I get a call from the enigmatic Lee every once and a great while. Sadly, I doubt we will ever get the rest of the story, as wonderful as it must be.

Thanks. We were up there for our 44th anniversary last October.

Thanks. We were up there for our 44th anniversary last October.

We love going to the Inn for Dinner and live music but also the Store for lunch/Ice Cream just to support them.

It's not on a dirt road but it's still pretty far out there in Oregon.

Dan and I drove by this place - Arrowhead Mountain Lodge once on 4th of July weekend in our travels from the black canyon when the Blue Mesa bridge was closed. It was rockin' with a live band outside and everything. It's kinda of in the middle of nowhere in Colorado which I know you like. Keep driving and you will end up toward Lake City the back way.

What about the Mill Site up by Ward? is that still around? Used to be a moto destination, as it's on the peak to peak... but no reason you couldn't run a 4wd trail beforehand if you need to make a day of it.

I'll have to remember to stop by on the drive from my brother's ranch to my parent's farm. It will be to longer scenic route.

Mill Site has been closed for a while now. Haven't seen any activity up there.

Yeah the Mill Site is closed, kind of a bummer.

Yep! The Sprucewood is still open. The chili and beer still taste the same!
The Mill Site also had good chili. I used to stop there to warm up on rides to Estes on the peak to peak.
