Packer Mania

Lake City is a bit infamous for the part of it's history involving Alferd Packer. Decades ago Mr. Packer ventured into the Colorado winter wilderness and survived only by consuming his travelling companions.

The spot where this took place is on the outskirts of Lake City. Quite a bit of lore exists due to this bit of history. This includes naming a sports bar/saloon after Mr. Packer. This is made all the more interesting as this is the local watering hole for watching football, including the Green Bay Packers.

We heard their Reuben sandwich was first class so we went to try it out. We were not disappointed - it was very good.

You've got to love a place that has an image of Alferd Packer in a football jersey throwing a skull as its sign.
