Woops, looks like I've been a little bit under the radar the last week. Welp, I'm alive and well! Didn't fall off that mountain quite yet!
I've been making my way back south. America Tim (Timbo Slice, Timmy Two Take, Donna Q) has decided to buy a plane ticket to Sacramento to spend some time climbing with me and trying to convince these stubborn west coasters that the northeast officially knows how to brew a delicious IPA. I've got a week to make my way back down to Northern Cali to pick him up.
My first stop was back in Portland. I headed straight to Great Notion Brewing to sample some of their delicious brews. The next day I happened upon the Alberta Street Fair. A solid half mile of Alberta St was closed off to cars and filled with tents full of food, arts, live music and other cool organizations. I had a wonderful day walking around, listening to music and stuffing my face with food.
Then I returned to Bend to rejoin my friends there. Lots more free beer, floating down the Deschutes River, and then an IPA beer contest sponsored by 10 Barrel.
The beer contest consisted of 30 secret beers. You would taste as many as you wanted and vote for your favorite. 10 Barrel's Locals Only IPA won (rigged? Idk, mighty suspicious...). I'm glad I was able to swing by and catch up with my Bend friends.
As I crossed into California, I headed for Lassen Volcanic National Park. Following a scenic byway, just after sunset, I rounded a corner and was punched in the face with the most beautiful, enormous red moon I've ever seen. I feel like I nearly drove off the road once I saw this thing. I stopped right in the middle of the road to take some pictures.
More to come on Lassen Volcanic National Park once I edit those photos!
KEEP IT FRESH!!
