OUR FOOD TRUCKS SERVE IT HOT AND DELICIOUS EVERY MONDAY ALL SUMMER AS CASTLE ROCK EATS PRESENTS FOOD TRUCK MONDAYS

FAR SURPASSING CORN DOGS AND CARAMEL APPLES, MODERN FOOD TRUCKS TOUCH ON TASTE OPTIONS UNBROACHED BY STANDARD FAIR CUISINE. Taste culinary excellence and contribute to a worthy cause by heading to Wilcox and Second Street every Monday all summer between 11 a.m. to 2 p.m., where 10% of proceeds strengthen local charities. Our first day to savor included these alternating purveyors who are as beautiful as their food is delicious.

HOTTIE ROB’S MOBILE EATS Plying the public with a variety of tempting treats from fantastically fusioned tacos and egg rolls to voraciously visionary burgers and burritos, Rob and Clare mix fresh ingredients with ingenuity to make it happen in this rolling kitchen. The Skirt Steak Sammie with cherry chipotle glaze will arrest your senses. Put some truffle oil on those tots, and you’ll be a believer.

COLORADO PIZZA COMPANY Not all pizza is equal, and the Scott family validates it with their mobile wood-fired pizza oven. Sporting an enticing list of artisan pies like the Caprese, the Bee Sting and the Mean Green (complete with a side of fresh sour cream), this purely palatable pizza is baked right on-site. You’ll smell it before you see it, making the tiny wait one of nail-biting proportion.

HONEYMAN BBQ The grand championship barbecue achieved in this mobile smoker is enough to prompt a vegan to consider conversion. Honing their bewitching barbecue craft for years with a bevy of awards as evidence, this operation on wheels curated by the Doonan/Uhlrich family proudly serves up a variety of mouthwatering meats and hearty homemade sides. Bless it with one of their scrumptious sauces (the Carolina Mustard Sauce is to die for!) and appreciate.

Punctuated with cool Kona Ice, this lunch was fast and fun. Drop by next Monday and sample something spectacular.

ROAD TRIP

(CON TI N U ED)

his friends’ cars. His mechanical abilities were soon recognized by the owner of a station where he pumped gas part-time, and as such, he was quickly transferred to the garage. It was there his fervent wish to own a classic car was born. A man of many talents and endeavors, John delved into other fields after college, married and had a family. His dream to own a classic car was faint but still danced in the back of his mind while he slept.

More than 30 years later, he walked into a buddy’s service garage and the divine intervened. There it was up on the lift—as big as day and as dirty as night. John jokingly quipped, “Is that the one you were finding for me?” “It could be,” was the answer. That same 1960 Chevrolet Corvette convertible, decently worse for the wear at the time, rolled into his life. Decades in the making, he set to work on a dream.

Suited in original Roman Red, this resplendent car reaches for the pinnacle of perfection but stops just short, wearing its few blemishes as a badge of honor afforded by almost six decades of life’s consequences.

Chronicled by time, the cracks in the black leather seats tell a story of love and laughter, their timeworn perfection chuckling at the thought of replacement. Make no mistake—this car has been bathed a grand total of three times since gracing John with ownership. Instead, she is routinely adored with dry brushing.

Other than some snazzy Cragar wheels, John has kept his car in conceivably original condition. But sometimes even masterpieces need to be marginally modernized for practicality. Longing to break the tether imposed by the nature of our mountainous terrain, John plans to install a transmission that will allow road trips outside of Douglas County. He also plans to paint the coves on the sides of the car white, a request he'll honor from wife Margaret, one of his favorite road trippers.

Serving on the boards of the Castle Rock Downtown Development Authority and the Castle Rock Police Officers Foundation, John is an active participant in the Castle Rock, Castle Pines and Larkspur communities. He co-founded Business over Beverages, owns a stake in the 105 West Brewing Company, serves on the Canada Colorado Association board and is a former chairman of the Castle Rock Chamber of Commerce. John also created the Classic Rock Cruise-In car show, a Father’s Day weekend staple and collaboration between the Vintage Car Club and Downtown Merchants Association.

The classic-car culture is very much alive and will breathe for decades to come through attrition of these beautiful creations. Currently, John is enjoying stewardship of a car that will shine long after his term is up. And he’s planning to road trip.

GRACED BY THE FLOATING HEAVENS ABOVE, THE SILVER LAKE LODGE REFRESHES THE SOUL WITH A DEEP GREEN PEACE—SO MEANINGFUL TO THOSE WHO NEED IT AND SO PURPOSEFUL TO THOSE WHO DESIRE IT. Originally built as a private residence in 1992, it has been remarkably restored to reflect the consummate calm of mountain tranquility and is now the highest elevated bed and breakfast in the world, at 10,550 feet.

Enveloped by an expanse of fragrant pine trees underlying the majestic St. Mary’s Glacier, this highly rated darling of the Rocky Mountains is an established bed and breakfast that holds dynasty on a generous 0.6-acre corner lot in Idaho Springs, Clear Creek County, Colorado. This serene stunner warmly welcomes guests from around the world and is also popular as an intimate wedding venue, corporate retreat and a sports retreat, with professional athletes routinely visiting during high-altitude training.

Infused with beautifully hewn pine features, a magnificent double-sided wood-burning fireplace and plenty of mountain nostalgia, this 8,330-square-foot, two-story log cabin home with a basement walkout embraces nine charmingly comfortable, spacious bedrooms with en suite bathrooms, a three-car garage, a substantial kitchen and dining room, a family room, foyer, lounge, office and more. A stunning wraparound deck and dramatic exterior stairway up to the entrance are the crowning jewels to this house that is one with nature, with the stairway instrumental in the unions of many loving couples.

Abundantly constructed with Mother Nature’s material, this place of serenity is marked throughout by lofty vaulted ceilings and pine log ceiling beams. Luxuriously rustic in every sense, many rooms have electric fireplaces, private balconies and majestic mountain and timberline views. The gorgeous, professional stainless-steel kitchen with cream-hued cabinets, double ovens and double microwaves makes cooking for a crowd an effortless task.

The area is richly steeped in the history of the gold rush, readily sensed in the fresh mountain air and worn with pride on the faces of the natives. Down the hill in Idaho Springs, also known as the Gem of the Rockies, stately Victorian homes and authentic miners’ bungalows line the streets—reminiscent of a time where blood, sweat, tears and luck reigned supreme.
