Well it’s finally here, our last day in Denver is coming to a close and we were about to head out to the Airport. We had to be out of our Cabin by mid morning, and our flight wasn’t until later in the evening so we figured why not try and kill a little time with one last stop…for some pennies.

Just along the highway we had to take towards the airport was a bit of an outlet mall and it included one of my guilty pleasures a Bass Pro Shop. Now I’ve said this in the past, I’m not a hunter, fisherman, or camper but these stores are just fascinating.

These are huge mega stores with men’s apparel, women’s apparel and so much more.

Candy, hot sauce, snacks, and a huge select of jerky possibly only rivaled by a Buc-ee’s store.

One of my favorite sections of these stores is their BBQ section. All the different smokers, grills , charcoal, wood flavors, rubs, and sauces it’s all here.

Here’s a quick overview of the main section of the store as seen from the second floor. It’s almost intimidating when you first walk inside.

Plus did I mention that the stores are immaculately clean and organized. Staff is always nearby to help if you have questions and most of the times they are just checking in to see how you are doing even if you are just browsing.

My daughters always like the large tanks filled with all sorts of different fresh water fish. Most of the stores have a bench or set of chairs right in front for your viewing pleasure, or just to take a bit of a break during your visit.

Of course sticking with the outdoor theme, and the large hunting sections within the store there is a lot of taxidermy animals. It’s almost like being in a Natural History museum and the details go on and on. We were enjoying the above couple of bear before my daughter eventually pointed out the wild cat up on the rocks. Then even in the lower bushed you can find creatures like beavers, squired or any number of other woodland creatures. It’s very impressive how they have these displays setup.

Before we left of course we had to find the pressed penny machine. In this location it was back near the large fish tank and honestly pretty easy to spot.

The designs are cute and similar to some of the other locations, but they do make sure an include the location Denver, CO which I loved and makes a nice addition to my Bass Pro Shops mini collection of pennies.

Well it was finally that time to make our way back towards the airport and eventually home to Florida. I said it many times over these posts but this was really an unbelievable trip. My wife researched, booked and set everything up for us and she did an amazing job. Everything she does she puts in so much though into making sure everyone will have something or somewhere to enjoy. It wouldn’t have been the amazing trip it was, if it wasn’t for her. Where are we off to next, well you’ll just have to stay tune.

Keep on Pressing!
