Nothing humbles me more than the great outdoors. Kris, Connor, Poison Rose and myself just spent the last four days living under primitive camping conditions at the base of Mt. Adams. We were roughing it but it was all about the nature. The nearest store that sold cold beverages, rented DVDs, and had cell phone service was two whole miles away. Our human intinct for survival took over and we were able to defeat the elements.
Though we were gone for 4 days, I did have to come back to the winery Saturday evening for Joe and Neysa's wedding. I don't know what made me more tired. The
"roughin' it" or the 15 minute drive back home. Whatever it was, I was honored to host a great reception for a very nice couple. If you're considering getting married and having a wedding reception, don't invite people from Montana. Though they are fun, polite and great at helping with clean up, they can drink a lot of wine.
Summer is winding down, people. Get here and pick up your 04 Tempranillo before it's all gone.
I have to go now. National Geographic will probably be calling wanting rights to my experience in the great outdoors. Did I mention that I had to drive two miles to get more cold beverages?
Stay hydrated, Husum!
