    I don't know...maybe. I saw a sign in their Taproom (on FB) that said "limit of 4 samples per person per day"
    The joy of life comes from our encounters with new experiences, and hence there is no greater joy than to have an endlessly changing horizon, for each day to have a new and different sun.

    I would also love to know... I've only driven about half of it, and it wasn't bad.

    Hopefully we'll get there in daylight, assuming flights are on time.
    I win.

    you will drive thru 2 mountain passes 4th of July Pass and Lookout Pass. Lookout pass can be a little hairy-during the snow season. The longest part of the drive is from when you hit the Montana border (coming from Idaho) to Missoula. It's just boring, and there isn't much to see.

    A good stop-if you have the time is Lincoln's 50,000 Silver Dollar Bar Exit 16 after you cross the state line. 50,000 silver dollars in the bar. http://www.50000silverdollar.com/
    Kind of a cheezy tourist trap, but it's cool to see that many silver dollars all over the wall. You cannot miss it, there are so many billboards and signs pointing you to it.

    the highway really is red, it comes from the clay they mixed into the concrete when they built it. It's kinda trippy.

    The visibility most likely will be smoky from the wildfires, please account for slower traffic. DRIVE SAFE people!

    So thankful for all the kind concerned people around me when I passed out at Music Midtown. Boy did the forecasters miss the heat level Saturday.. 81 degrees, my ass!! I assumed it was just from dehydration, but at my friends insistance, I went to the doctor and got checked out today. They tested my urine, checked blood pressure, drew my blood, and did an EKG.. Everything initially checks out ok.. Perhaps my body just rejected Ludacris?? :lol: Got the green light for Montana!! (Like anyone could have stopped me from going, right?) So now no one in 10 club reserved has to worry about me falling down on them.. :-) So relieved!!
    Oh wow, glad you're okay! I've passed out before, normally it's a combination of lack of sleep, oxygen, food, water, being stressed out and then making the boneheaded decision to fill my empty belly with alcohol. Good that you got checked out :D

    Thanks Suziemay!! I had a head cold and got dehydrated.. honestly only drank 1 beer.. My Ludacris theory still stands.. I literally had to look at Urban Dictionary to even begin to decypher anything he was saying,, Apparantly "Throw Them Bows" refers to dancing wildly with your elbows out to defend your space... :nono: No "Bow Throwing" down on the floor, you guys, k? :P Really looking forward to meeting all you guys.. I have kept a low profile at past shows..
