Scouting

Not sure...

Trying to unlock the secret

Mike trying to keep a straight face

We all enjoyed this route




Here I am PUMPED to be outside touching rock

So after about 4 hours climbing we rolled on down to Fort Collins to the New Belgium Brewery. Unfortunately we missed the actual tour but they do have a tasting room where you can sample all 12 of the beers they brew. I suppose it is a lot like a wine tasting. They bring them out in a certain order and you are supposed to sniff them, take a small sip, then plug your nose and take another sip and then exhale through your nose. It is interesting to try to identify how the different ingredients make different tastes and styles. Here we are nearing the end and no, we did not finish all that beer.

After the tasting I was desperate to find a Chicago style hot dog but we struck out and ended up at Chipolte's. Not as good as Pancheros but awesome none the less.
We finished the evening watching movies and welcomed the new year while watching Ace Ventura.
The next morning, Mike and Amy hit the road for the long drive back to Iowa. We will miss them and hope they get back out here soon.
