Ragnar Broken Spoke Austin Lone Star 100

Lulu - 100 Beer Challenge Complete!!!!

Woohoo! It is official… 100 shitty beers were consumed in 100 not shitty places! There were definitely some miscounts along the way so I did the audit to verify that all is in order. And it is!! I will say that Saturday in Durango was BRUTAL - I seriously never want to drink a High Life again after that marathon. But my cousin was determined not to let Brownie and Wiley mock me for not finishing and like a trooper she was our DD for the day. It was definitely fun looking through the site and seeing all the cool places I went this year and drank high life. So…. without further ado… I present my list of beers (along with the number shown on the site and a count of actual beers drank):

Squeezin' - 100 Yellow Beers in 100 Different Places 2012

I interrupt Lulu's sprint to the finish line to present my 100 beer mosaic!

If Slow Ride can get two more Carlings before 2013 I will make him a 12x12 144 beer mosaic.

I think I may do mine over with 16:9 dimensions so as to make a nice screen background. If anyone else wants one, let me know.

Lulu - Jenkins Conservation Easement - Bayfield, CO - cob#98

The Jenkins Conservation Easement butts up to the Ute Indian Reservation. The easement can never be developed and is a haven for wildlife - we saw 8 deer and two coyotes on our short hike. As you can see... It is surrounded by tons of kick as views too :)

PS. I'm never drinking high life again when this shit is done!!!

Lulu - Wildlife Detectors - la plata county,co - cob#97

Between durango and bayfield the wildlife fences end. This stretch of highway is known for most dead animals per mile (or something). So they post wildlife detector signs like these when wildlife is passing through the area. I guess they were detecting me!

Lulu - Bodo State Wildlife Area - La Plata County, CO - COB#96

Keeping the state wildflower area wild one high life at a time!
