Road Trip Itinerary
The 605 team got cozy in our Sprinter Van for this year's annual road trip to Lemmon for the Hugh Glass Rendezvous . The event celebrates the legendary story of the “mountain man” who survived a mauling by a grizzly bear, was abandoned by his traveling partners, and crawled over 200 miles to safety. The August rendezvous takes attendees back to the 1800s with primitive mountain man camping, black powder shootouts, live demonstrations, a prairie church service, and more. Our team had never made the trek to Lemmon before, so we were excited to explore everything the town had to offer. After a seven-hour drive, we pulled into Lemmon, eager to stretch our legs and fill our growling stomachs. Our first stop to kick off our road trip was Powderhorn Family Restaurant , a pizza shop that also specializes in various other meals and treats. Owner Corey Deutscher welcomed us with open arms and prepared to serve us a full table of food. We met Lemmon Chamber of Commerce’s marketing director, Abbie Hulm , and tried our hand at the multiple arcade games located within the eatery. After winning a couple of ducks from the claw machine, we sat down to enjoy our pizza. The team decided to try the fan-favorite specialty pizzas, Pesto Chicken and Powderhorn Special . The local eatery also offers burgers, sandwiches, basket meals, wings, and salads. For a sweet treat, choose between soft-serve ice cream, sundaes, or a Dough Boy —a deep-fried dough topped with butter and cinnamon sugar, served with caramel. A Warm Welcome
