My last day proved to be one of my busiest days ever. First up it was Pioneer Sand in Greeley. I was told by Kelly and Dina in Berthoud that if I didn’t visit Greeley there would be a price to pay!! Well Kelly was happy to see me (at least I think), and meeting Glenn was a nice surprise. Thanks again for the muffins! Next up it was off to see Fort Collins. Ben, Taylor and Nicki were great people. They loved the product, and even invited me to come back! They were an enthusiastic group, and do a great job! Back down the highway to Aurora – #2 Pioneer Sand location according to **caugh caugh Scott A **. The group at Aurora were the busiest I have seen on my trip! They had some great things to say about the company and had just placed an order. I managed to get Bryce – Aurora and Parker G.M., just as he stepped off of a loader. Bryce runs a couple smooth operations!

My flight is at 3:30, and I have to run! Pioneer Sand has been a great host for my past 3 days. Each and every staff member were great, and I am proud to have the opportunity to meet with them.

Finally it is time to get home to both of my families – my own and Envirobond!

You know you’re having a good day when you pull of the highway to get a coffee and you just happen to run into – The Monument location by fluke! Bryan was a great guy. OK back on the road…oh look, there is a turn off to Black Forest. I wonder if the Black Forest turn off goes to the Black forest location? 20 minutes later and I am chatting with Mike and the boys (who also claim they sell the most Envirobond) ! A short drive down to see the ‘Original’ location in Colorado Springs. Scott and Karen have been familiar voices on the phone for the past couple of months and it was great to finally meet them in person! Back up the road towards Denver, past the largest Air Force Base in America and it was to see Mark and his staff in Littleton. Trying to get these guys together in a photo is like herding a bunch of blind sheep! They were lots of fun to meet and I also told Kelly I would mention how the Steelers – his favorite team for some reason??!, would win the Superbowl. I am guessing most of the Pioneer staff would be rooting for the Bronco’s! Last stop of the Day – Golden, CO. How of the Coors Light Brewery! Greg arrives at 4pm only to be told – “Sir, the Brewery is now closed for the day!”.  How can this be?! Well, instead I managed to visit the grave site of William Cody. Otherwise known as Buffalo Bill! Plus I got to see a birds eye view of Denver and the Coors Light Factory! Shane was delighted to see me at the Golden location.

It was abusy day, but a lot was accomplished, and looking forward to visiting the remaining Pioneer Sand locations! Maybe Ill stop into Golden in the morning on my way up!

Since my flight was delayed this morning, I thought I would be able to squeeze in a couple of dealers before the end of day. First up was Brighton where I had the chance to meet Tim. Tim helps run both the Brighton and NorthGlenn locations. We had a great time talking with one another and I look forward to keeping in touch with Tim. After a short drive it was up north to see Brett at the Broomfield location. Dave, Lindsay and Stephanie were all enthused about our products! I even managed to get them to squeeze in for a photo during their afternoon rush. Brett also manages the Boulder location. And don’t worry, I will not forget to send some hats as promised!  Still hotter then what I am used to, but time to head north to Berthoud, Colorado. Kelly and Dina greeted me with a lot of questions! It was more impressive that they already knew a lot about the product! I think they were just testing me. After one of Kelly’s homemade Banana Nut muffins, it was time to take a picture and head out for the day….easier said then done. I did manage to get them in part of the picture, but I am confident I will get another one soon. Back to Denver to catch up on some emails and calls!

Tomorrow it is off to Colorado Springs to see Scott and Karen and the rest of the locations in the south!

My day luckily didn’t end there – I had the chance to see the Great – Bob Dylan in concert in Park City Utah! The natural amphitheatre that Dylan played in was deep in the mountains, and was absolutely amazing! A once in a lifetime opportunity!

Thanks to American Stone for a great day!
