So I have been here in Colorado for about 5 years, but I miss alot of things from back home. Grew up in Antioch Illinois, about 5 minutes south of Wisconsin border and about 45 minutes North of Chicago.
Where I grew up there was the "Chain of Lakes" which has the highest boating population anywhere in the U.S. I believe. Over 500 bars and over 100 resteraunts on the water that you can get to by boat. What a blast. Also there was a small island bar called Blarney's Island. You can get there by your own boat or by the "party barge". It is basically a bar/dance club all on this very small island.....Bikini's and beer. Boat races also on thursday night, 1/4 mile drags.
Is there anything like that here in Colorado, better yet Denver area?
