Starkweather Beer Company

 When I moved back to Madison to attend law school in 1987, we moved to a crappy little apartment near the banks of Starkweather Creek on the unfashionable east side.  Today, the east side is booming, and one of the newer brewpubs is called Starkweather Beer Company. It was Saint Pat's Day.  While Guinness is a decent light-bodied stout, I opted for Starkweather's dry Irish Stout, named "Jamestown Jackdaw." Coming in at 5.9 ABV, it had a malty chewable backbone.  It's a new favorite stout for me.  Julia had Late Winter Haze, a New England IPA that didn't have as much fruitiness as she likes in a hazy.  It was still well-executed. We walked down the street to the Harmony Bar, where Julia enjoyed a complete corn beef and cabbage dinner.  I opted for the Reuben sandwich.  Mine was washed down with an Edmund Fitzgerald porter from Great Lakes Brewing.  Julia enjoyed her Chaos Pattern IPA from 3 Sheeps Brewing.  Both are great beers.

Drop-Off


This is just a quick update without photos.

After leaving Monument Valley, we needed to make a half-circle back to Las Vegas to get Julia to her flight home. We stopped overnight at Pipe Springs National Monument and the RV park nearby, so that Julia could hear the story herself of the history of the spring.

Yesterday, we drove to Vegas where Julia had found the Las Vegas RV Resort, which was an easy drive to the airport early this morning.With moving from Mountain Time to Pacific Time, plus the Dayight Savings time shift, we woke up quite early to get her to the airport for an early morning flight home.

I will be meandering south and east today to start my way home. Thanksgiving isn’t far away, and I won’t be able to stop for lengthy stays anywhere at this point. There are a few places I want to see, so I’m estimating a two-week drive back home.
