    Two great nights so far. The crowd was sparse in Greeley, but the venue is really nice.

    Funniest moment: The guys debuted Rocket Man and Levon last night. When Blake asked if anyone wanted to hear another Elton John tune, some lady said, "No!"

    Good times. On to Carbondale!

    Covid 19 Tour update.
    A real bummer, but the remaining shows have been cancelled.
    Now the fun begins in getting a flight back to NJ.
    It was fun while it lasted. Be safe friends.

    I thought I had updated this thread with a little more detail.

    Somewhere over Kansas on the flight out, the captain announced our local arrival time. Pops looked at me and said, "The breweries won't be open when we land." I already had a plan. We visited the Rocky Mountain Arsenal Wildlife Refuge. Neat stop with a drive-by tour where we saw bison, prairie dogs, and mule deer. If you ever go to a show at Dick's, it is across the street and worth a visit.

    The Globe show was great. A small venue, but a packed house kept it rockin'. I didn't have enough clamps, so I have no video of that set.

    The day of the Greeley show we went to Cheyenne because neither of us had ever been to Wyoming. We played disc golf on a course that was mostly devoid of trees. The wind was horrendous. The temperature was 31 and who knows what the wind chill factor was. That was our only course of the trip as most of the really interesting ones in Colorado were under snow. The Moxi show was sparsely attended. The local opener backed out and this COVID thing was beginning to feel real to a lot of people, I think. Still a great show. I think I've seen every style or feel of show from Yarn, and while I really wish it was crowded, I really dig these shows too. It was good to see Bob and June and Grant.

    After driving 3.5 hours to Carbondale, we arrived at a brewpub for a lunch stop and got the news from Blake that the rest of the CO shows were cancelled. We rolled with it and took in the sights in Glenwood Springs and Carbondale. The drive on 70 from Denver to Carbondale was absolutely beautiful. There was still plenty of snow and luckily just a few sketchy icy spots. We spent the night in Carbondale and headed back to Denver the next day for more brewery touring.

    We ended up visiting 31 breweries in 5 days and barely scratched the surface. We upgraded our rental to a Subaru Outback (state car of Colorado) because the forecast had changed to possible snow. My daughter got a full ride to college so I treated myself in April by buying a brand new Outback. We landed in Raleigh about 6 a.m. on Monday. I didn't take that day off so I was not looking forward to going straight to the office. I decided to take a nap and go in an hour late. Work called and told me not to come in. They were worried because I just flew and traveled out-of-state. Free day off? I'll take it.

    Can't wait to get back out there in better weather for hiking and disc golf. And Yarn!
