The driving thread

[Irving]

This thread is for those of us who spend a lot of time driving around the state, and the things we come across.

Has anyone ever seen that guy at 92nd and Bryant that looks like a washed up rodie for AC/DC that is ALWAYS air guitaring his heart out on the sidewalk? I've seen him on both sides of the street, at all kinds of times of day, for years. I'd kind of like to know his story, but I've never talked to him.

What's up with that camel silhouette on I-25 southbound near Longmont (right next to the Kia billboard?).

I know there is some art sculpture of what looks like three, fat, sombreros, but I can't remember where I see them. I want to say on Pena Blvd leaving the airport maybe?

I know some of you guys have long commutes and do lots of driving. There must be some stuff that you pass all the time and at first thought "what the heck is that all about?" that now is so common on your route that you don't even notice it anymore.

My old boss and I were talking about air guitar guy a while back.

[Irving]

I KNEW someone else has had to have seen that guy, he might as well be a local monument to AC/DC as often as he is there.

EDIT: There is an alcohol rehab place right near there, so he could be out of there.

[Graves]

My boss who lives in the area says he's seen him around for many years and he's always rockin' out. I've seen him about a half dozen times and he's always in a denim vest just off in his own world. I'd be interested to hear his story as well.

That Camel silhouette has been there for years. If you read it , (IIRC) it references a store in berthoud.

[Irving]

Oh, The Rusty Camel? I've heard of it.

I'd kind of like to know his story, but I've never talked to him.

Some of those most interesting stories I've ever heard were from guys like him at the Denver Rescue Mission. Take a shot and see if he's can carry a conversation.

As you drive on 285 heading toward Morrison from evergreen. Look right toward the sandstone rocks. There is a perfect shaped boob rock with a nipple. Every spring somebody paints or colors the nipple portion a nice bright pink. Pretty dang funny.

The camel is for an oriental rug dealer,I believe. The 3 clouds? that were on Pena just got moved recently. I read about it, but now I can't remember where they moved them.

[To Bear Arms]

I have seen the Air guitar guy jammin out for years! I have not seen him lately though.

I don't facebook but the wife said there is a page set up for him. https://www.facebook.com/pages/Air-G...n/286287738717

I just found this on him as well.
