Rise and shine at the hotel, pack the car, get it dropped off at the garage by noon...and we decide to take a stroll around Ft. Bragg. When out of left field comes a brewery. And not just any brewery, but the West Coast Brewing Co. You know, Scrimshaw and Red Seal and such? Well, if you don't know, now you know. We talked to the nice, weird old man from Georgia. He told us all the secrets of the company, his favorite brews, the diamonds in the rough to look out for, and of course, where to find the 11-beer on-tap sampler, which was...right across the street.
So, it was past noon (I have scruples, whatever that means), and we drink two sample packs between the three of us. After the drinks, we walked a little further, then back to the car and a long, foggy drive into San Fran. Near the Golden Gate Bridge, Tom spots the one place he had been pining for on the opposite side of the highway: In N' Out Burger. We cross 5 lanes of traffic right onto the exit ramp at 80+mph, squealing tires the whole way. The exit was confusing, and it took us 5 or so minutes to find our way to the other side of the highway. But oh was it worth it. After eating food that Adam and Eve must have surely eaten in Eden, we hit the road.
Through San Fran, down to South San Fran, to the hotel. Once at the hotel, a quick few drinks and then bedtime...not a real busy day.
