    Possibly, are you in Fort Collins? We were thinking about working our way south to boulder but I’m always open for the possibility of beer

    Joy. I'd offer a hand, but you're quite a ways from SLC.

    I'm in Windsor, which is just south and east. Google Mighty River Brewing. It's 5 min from my house and not too far out of the way for you if you're heading south. We could meet there.

    I'll leave the light on for ya. Should be the perfect time to come through, summer heat is bleeding off fast, and the desert is prime for exploring.

    Just now leaving @Beer:30s garage. Met up with him a few hours ago at a local brewery and after a few drinks was welcomed to his garage to change a wheel bearing and an axle. Again, this is why I love tacoma world. Nicest people you’ve never met open up there homes and garages to help you get squared away. Thank you so much kevin for your hospitality and helping us get the rig situated for another few thousand miles! So far loving colorAdo and the people here are great!
