Our 22nd edition of Colopalooza returns to Colorado for some Rocky Mountain fun. The boys kick things off with a little axe-throwing at Dagar in downtown Denver.

After a few beers at a nearby brewpub, the boys are ready to toss some axes—especially Al, who as we all know, is equal parts Navajo and Comanche.

The Paloozians settle in for a quick lesson from the axe master. He can already tell that there’s about a 73% chance that someone is losing a finger today.

The boys inside the cage. Bill has already landed one, as Al puts a little extra booty into his throw.

Believe it or not, the boys are able to pick this axe-throwing thing up pretty quickly. Here’s one of Sean’s epic throws.

But in the end, it is honorary Paloozian and West Virginia country boy, Leo Jacobin who takes the title of “Mr Axe”.

After their axe throwing afternoon, the Paloozians make their way up to Winter Park, where they grab some Hernando's Pizza and settle down by a toasty campfire.

Al and Bill are quick to get in their veggies for the day.

The campfire fun is quickly extinguished when Craig discovers a nearby moose and then shortly thereafter, a “flock of foxes”—all bent on stealing the pizza.

Day two in Colorado usually means fishing, so the Paloozians are up early on this bright sunny day.

The proud owner of the Log Palace, ClemBox Clemens awaits his breakfast burrito and double latte.

The boys compare Craig sleepwalking notes as the food comes out.

Al, Chris and Bill try to decide which lures to use for the day.

The boys head out to an upper part of the Colorado that’s a bit closer to the Log Palace than our usual float trips.

There are plenty of different types of trout in these waters, but Brooks and Browns are the most common.

Craig catches the first one of the day—a decent sized Brook.

But it’s B-Luv who takes in the biggest fish of the afternoon.

Nothing epitomizes the Paloozian experience quite like Colorado stream fishing on a 70 degree day.

The Paloozians fish past this hunting lodge tucked in the trees.

Bill and Al take a break to catch their breath and eat snacks.

Someone decided it would be easier to just trade in their rig by leaving it in a heap out in the middle of nowhere. Niiiiice.

A common stop while the Paloozians are in Winter Park is the Fraser Safeway. Here they are stocking up for dinner.

And here they are mowing down some tasty steak dinners.

It’s another early morning at the Log Palace as the boys head out for some golf and the drive down to Boulder.

Sean chats with TT about the run-in with the moose.

The boys are greeted with an ideal day for hitting the links.

Seanie leans into his backswing as he prepares to launch another one into the drink.

Dean and Sean wait for Craig to hit his ball as Craig takes a picture of Dean and Sean waiting for Craig.

After golf, the boys make their way to The Ditch for a few ridiculously dressed green chili cheeseburgers.

Craig has his Ditch Burger topped with a Chili Relleno. Throw in green chilli covered fries and it’s time for a nap.

Then it is back to the Log Palace for a few frosty cold ones from the porch before heading down the hill to Red Rocks.

The Paloozians get to Red Rocks early and are able to secure some outstanding seats just 10 rows up.

Craig’s buddy, Tommy "The Pound" Pounders joins the Paloozians that night for a little reggae on the rocks.

The opening band Hyrie gets the night rolling before Rebelution takes over.

Smalls & The Pound spend the night convinced this is not going to end up being a painting of an eagle. They’re wrong.

Rebelution comes on and keeps the reggae vibes flowing.

You could say that there were a few phones in the crowd.

The next morning, the Paloozians are back at it before the Buffs game. Here’s Dean mixing a bloody mary.

The weather on Saturday had gotten quite a bit cooler.

Bill is looking quite happy to be back under 6k in elevation.

Zoe and her dorm friends come over to say hi to the boys and hope that nobody spots them with all these old guys.

Ralphie makes his way onto the field followed by a heard of jacked up Colorado Buffaloes.

The Buffs go on to decimate their fellow Coloradans from up north, giving the Paloozians a rare Buffs victory.

The view from up on top of the roof of the champions center. Always a great view.

Many of the Paloozians think of Folsom as a home away from home, but this guy has taken it to a new level. No idea who this is but he belongs on the interent. You’re welcome.

Before the Paloozians wake up, Craig sneaks out to take Zoe for breakfast and a quick drive up Flagstaff.

This is Zoe’s first month as a Colorado student and she’s having a blast so far.

Then it is on to Denver for pre-gaming at Brooklyn's.

Dink sips an Original Coors Banquet Beer as he prepares for a tough game vs the Dallas Cowboys.

Chris makes a rare appearance on Broncos Sunday.

Seanie leads the charge to head over to Mile High for the big game with the Cowboys. The weather is looking good but that’s about to change.

Bucky looks down on the Paloozians in the south stands as the game gets underway.

Early in the game, the Paloozians have 30-minute lightning delay—the second time this has happened to us in Denver. Here’s Al trying to stay dry inside a large ziploc bag.

Everyone has to leave their seats and wait the storm out, which is a bummer given many of the Paloozians have a flights to catch in a few hours.

But the good news is that the Broncos come back out and thrash the Cowboys to get to 2-0 on the year. And that’s a wrap for 2017. See ya next year, lads!!
