| no partners | | The focal point of this trip to Las Cruces was to purchase a pint beer glass commemorating the 100th burning of Zozobra in Santa Fe on Friday August 30th. This was a joint effort by the Kiwanis Club of Santa Fe and the New Mexico Brewers Guild. These glasses were not available to purchase online and had to be obtained on June 26th at one of the participating breweries around the state. Fortunately, one of the locations was Icebox Brewing Company in Las Cruces (don't have to twist my arm to go there  ).
So, the quick road trip was set! Reserved a camp spot at City of Rocks SP for the night of the 25th. On my way over I took the scenic route up through Silver City with the obligatory stop for a brew at Little Toad Creek (they were not participating in the promotion). Then over to Bayard to pick up a burger and fries at Lotaburger to take to camp for dinner.  I was treated to some nice sky drama during the evening to make things even better. 
I had a lot of time to kill on the 26th since the Icebox on Picacho didn't open until 3 PM. That was the hardest part of the trip, since I didn't have anything else planned for Las Cruces and it was a very hot day. I drove around a lot killing time. Too hot to do anything outside, but eventually the time to get the beer glass arrived, and I had a brew at Icebox, bought the glass, and then started the drive back home. The mission was a success. 
So, now here it is more than two months later, and I am enjoying an Icebox Hatch Green Chile Blonde Ale in the commemorative Zozobra glass as I write this triplog on September 1st. Friday evening I enjoyed watching the 100th burning of old man gloom at Fort Marcy Park via livestream on You Tube.  All is well. |
