Norcal Spotted and BS Thread

Just came through NM a week ago.

It's smoky there too. Same as Nevada, Arizona, Utah, and Colorado... we only had one (semi) clear day, the whole trip, in Colorado.

 

My buddies are brewing right now if you wanna check it out.
Otherwise they brew every other month.

 

Where at? Whats the timeline?

 

They'll be done about 4pm.
I just got home but I'll run back if you wanna go now.

 

Off Franklin and 43rd

 

All this beer talk...



Nice little drift event. Where were you @Fernando?

 

Good to know. I was just looking at the smoke forecast. It appears there’s no escaping it.

 

Where were you?

 

Nice!
I’ve been there a few times. I grew up a few hours from there but haven’t been back since 1995 or so.

Civil War sites are interesting. There’s a sort of foreboding dark energy to them. They’re kind of sad places.

I visited Shiloh and Vicksburg in 2014 when I lived in Arkansas. Id recommend both.

 

Looks a bit like Gettysburg. I had chance to spend a day there a little over a year ago.

 

LOVE that area and the history. I lived, for a time, in Catharpin VA. Close to Manassas. We literally drove through the battlefield every day to go to town.

Gettysburg is amazing. You're definately right about it having a different feeling. It's the same at Manassas, and other battlefields I've been to. Custer's Battlefield in Montana is the same.

I think my favorite historical place in that area is Independence Hall though. It's the same building, tables, chairs, floor etc... as it was when history was made there. The same squeeks in the floor that would have been there when Washington, Madison, Jefferson, Hamilton, etc were walking across it.

That... or Shields Tavern in Colonial Williamsburg... James Shields was my 11th Great Grandfather. Sold in to slavery from Ireland to Barbados. He escaped to America and later married the daughter of the original owner of the tavern

You can still dine at Shields Tavern. It's considered one of the original buildings from the Original Williamsburg.

 

Did I miss something?

 

Well, grandpa's house is gone. The next door home owner snuck in. Its all gone, only thing left is one untouched tree 65yrds away. Only green thing in sight...strange

 

It wont have that for long! Its our makeup and all we were built on but it no longer matters. History is evil and offensive.
Enjoy your time brother. I love my history. Wish others did as much as I do.

 

Damn it!
Pm me the story please. Ive been missing for a while.

 

Sorry to hear. I couldn’t tell what were the address. I know a few homes made it.
