This place looks so interesting............
But I'm afraid I cannot come this weekend:
- wedding ceremony to plan
- 15k maintenance due
- no spare tire yet!
- alignment to fix

Please, take lots of pics, that place looks really cool in my opinion

I'm having troubles with the cheese, the curd I get is not as strong as I would like, some more experiments are needed :(

But don't worry, once it gets going, you know I make good stuff :)

It was pretty fun even though I did it solo. I cruised around the area for about 4 hours. Some of the Jeep trails were closed as of Oct. 1, so I pulled a "suecyde" and did a few ATV trails.
I've got some photos and video to upload when I have some time.
