Was there last summer. It's still the same bad place. Only go in the late summer/fall for Palisade Peaches. Taco Party does have some of the best tacos in our glorious state though.
I'm just being obnoxiously myopic lol.
I legit was stuck in a regular Mariott hotel room for a full month (January).
I was not allowed a car except on some weekends, because the office was within walking distance of the hotel.
And my boss would ask me each week if I'd "done anything cool"?
I was sent there to babysit a server closet that was the only copy of the Production environment for the software product.
It was an old office of a whole company which built a product, got bought, and then the staff whittled down until there was just 1 guy by himself keeping watch over this office/server-closet.
So they needed at least 1 person there, or nearby so they could be physically inspected/rebooted if needed.
Another guy on my team asked if he could go on the trip with me so I wasn't alone the entire month and he could train me, and my boss said no.
Like 6 weeks into this job, fresh out of college, I end up sitting in this weird empty office, in a town where I knew no one, in the middle of Winter.
Literally nothing interesting happened on that trip.
Every single day was breakfast in the hotel lobby, walk to the office, walk somewhere to get dinner, walk back to the hotel, drink at bar and/or watch TV/movies in my room until bed time.
I became that guy at the bar because I was getting so desperate to not be sitting alone in an empty fucking room lol.
