Frank And Chace Ate Dinner Tonight At The Historic Buckhorn Exchange Restaurant And Bar In Denver CO ...

The Buckhorn Exchange is a historic place. Teddy Roosevelt used to hang out there. The owner, Henry H. "Shorty Scout" Zietz, guided TR on hunts in CO and had been a member of Buffalo Bill Cody's Wild West Show. Henry was so well respected by the Sioux Indians, a number of warriors on horseback and dressed for battle rode up to the Buckhorn and presented Henry with the Sword that was taken from General George Custer at the Battle of Little Big Horn! Frank ordered a buffalo/elk tenderloin combination plate. He said it was great and that the Buckhorn was the best restaurant he had ever been to!

Frank And Chace Went By The East Portal Of The Moffat Tunnel Today ...

Dudley was a little bit Jealous. That is the most famous Railroad Tunnel in the United States! It took 4 years to build and was completed in 1927. The tunnel is 6.2 miles long! Dudley wishes he could have ridden a Steam Passenger Train through it back in the day or a Streamlined Passenger Train years later pre Amtrak!

About Me

Name: JDP

Location: Fort Worth, Texas, United States

I am 61 years of age, married with two children, a son age 31 and a daughter age 28. I was forced to retire in 2001 due to health problems. I was diagnosed with Muscular Dystrophy a short time later. I worked for fifteen years in the Insurance Claims business. I then worked for about five years for the State Of Texas Department of Human Services. Being disabled and not working is the hardest thing I have ever had to do in my life. My respiratory system is weak and I have to sleep and breath with the aid of a Bipap machine and an oxygen concentrator. This has all but stopped me from making overnight trips away from home due to the equipment being bulky and not easy to move and set up. I have for the most part had to give up the things I loved to do the most which were hunting and fishing. I also can't drive my 1983 Jeep CJ-5 any longer because it has a standard transmission. It is now in my son's hands. I hope he takes good care of it. Being disabled sucks. I am taking it one day at a time. My children are a blessing though they can be trying at times. We have an american eskimo dog named Foxy we got from a rescue organization and a stray cat my daughter named White Kitty.
