Josh's Visit

Northwestern tribal art










Josh flew out from Atlanta to hang out for the week so we've been doing lots of fun things in the FoCo area...

First we picked up Josh at the airport in the middle of a blizzard- made it home after ~3 hours of driving 30mph on the interstate.
Temps were low the next couple days so we decided to stay indoors and checked out the Denver Museum of Nature and Science.

Then we took the tour of the New Belgium Brewery, home of Fat Tire and many other wonderful beers and performed some quality control testing.
That was followed by a short walk to the Odell Brewery and sampled the wares there....
Beware the Buffalo Bourbon Stout- aged in used bourbon barrels and more like taking a shot than drinking a beer!

Today we headed up to Rocky Mountain Nat'l Park and went snowshoeing to Mills Lake. Beautiful, but cold! Wanted to have a bite to eat once we reached the lake, but piercing winds triggered the onset of frostbite, so we snarfed the food down and then thankfully got moving again. In just the hour and a half it took to get there the water in my backpack was already half ice.

But where the hell is Craig?...oh that's right, he's freezing his ass off in northern WY's minus degree temperatures looking for raptors and doing his best to put food on the table. I'll bet he wishes he could have drunk the entire stout all by himself! No doubt he could do it! Oh the holiday is soo far away...!
