Had close to a 1000 pics and started going through them to determine what to post here. Came up with 101 which I guess I will need to reduce dramatically to 15-20.

Sounds like quite the trip.
Glad you made back safely.

Looks like a fun trip, but how the heck did you find to time to stop at all those places in 2 weeks ?
I'd be worn out.
I stock up on hot sauces too when I find a place that has a big variety.

I plot out an agenda by day and map it out. I drove about 2500 miles on the trip. Resting today and I took vacation day for tomorrow too. I tried to keep the driving time on each leg to 4-8 hours with stops along the way so it may turn into a 10-12 hour day. A lot of interesting beers on the trip too, and not one of them that I couldn't finish. Majority of them were really good.

I've had some Chimay's that I had to choke down, but did finish.
I've probably had over 120-130 different types of beer.

I probably have had that many different kinds since Thanksgiving. Looks like I had at least 46 different beers during my trip south by looking through my pictures.

I bought 2 9oz mini oval servers but am having troubles posting that picture. I also got the reversible griddle with a grease trough that has about 16x8 inches of cooking space. The mini servers were about 50% of Amazon's current price and the griddle is about 45% off Amazon's current price.
