My sister Susan and I visited the Red Rocks Beer Garden, located in Morrison, Colorado this past Wednesday afternoon. In addition to being located in a cottage built in 1870, it has a pleasant, laid-back garden, the entrance to which is seen in the photograph above. In the garden, there is also an historic outhouse, with a plaque attached, saying that it dates from 1860, which predates the house by 10 years. Does that mean there was once an older house on the site, or did they build the outhouse first and camp outdoors for the first 10 years? Definitely a possible subject for a history major's PhD dissertation. Morrison, by the way, is best known as the home of Red Rocks Amphitheater, located just up the road. I have walked around the place, but have never attended a concert there. They charge big bucks for those, and as a confirmed cheapskate, I avoid those kind of expenses at all costs (pun intended).
