In search of the continuous road trip
We spent a night in Knoxville with our friends, Kate and Ben, who took us to a couple great bars. Bearden Beer Market Located in an old drive-up motel, they’ve demoed some of the rooms to make a cozy and fun beer courtyard / garden. …
Well, it’s come to this: the $7.99 bottle of booze. For just under $8, we got 750mL of brown-colored booze flavored like whiskey in a plastic travel-ready bottle. Pretty sweet deal, eh? I couldn’t help but read the name as “High Ten” instead of “Ten …
We stopped at Four Peaks Brewery for a beer with a buddy in Phoenix. They have great beer. Lisa loved the Hefeweizen and the Arizona Peach Ale; I was a fan of the Kilt Lifter. But Kilt Lifter? Is that really what I want when I’m …

Maybe it’s the warmer weather, I don’t really know, but I haven’t bought a bottle of whiskey in weeks. My last was a bottle of Jim Beam Rye. We finished it back in Death Valley. The last whiskey I’ve had was a peaty and tasty …
Full full full. We’re full of good food thanks to LA. Loved eating here. I think the food sold us on this town. Me at least. I could live here. We get LA. The farmers’ market in January with multiple varieties of avocado? Yum. The fresh …
We’re at the Corkscrew Saloon in Furnace Creek and in search of saloon salvation. We’re on a run of bad bars and can’t seem find a decent drink in Death Valley. Seems odd to complain about this so close to actual tragedy and tribulation. Death …
