Earache Posted October 30, 2013 Author Report Share Posted October 30, 2013 Stumbled into Mark Miller's Coyote Cafe Rooftop for a aperitif... But wisely stayed away from the rum, brown sugar mixture that's made by burying it in the desert for a week. Stuff is just plain nasty... Can't remember if Casper or ShittyGsxr tried this vile concoction when we were at this bar a few years back. I tasted it once - never again.

Earache Posted October 30, 2013 Author Report Share Posted October 30, 2013 Ouch. Good pics otherwise. Is this the guy we're doing the offroad trip out to CO with next year? No - Mark isn't an off roader at all (not on purpose anyway). That'd be my bud from Chicago; Neil. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Earache Posted October 30, 2013 Author Report Share Posted October 30, 2013 We stayed at one of the lodges in the Park this time. Headed out for dinner, but this was far as we got... Met an older couple from Australia at the bar and spent a couple of hours talking to them. Was the highlight of the Canyon portion of the trip.... maybe not for them, but I enjoyed it.

Earache Posted October 30, 2013 Author Report Share Posted October 30, 2013 We hung out at the bar too long and missed the dinner hour. Everything was closed when we left. I figured we could wrestle one of these to the ground and have a bbq... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Earache Posted October 30, 2013 Author Report Share Posted October 30, 2013 Rolled into our hotel late. Hot, sweaty and tired so we had a beer at the place across the parking lot and bagged it for the day. Mark saw 106F today - a new personal high record that he isn't interested in breaking anytime soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Earache Posted October 30, 2013 Author Report Share Posted October 30, 2013 We are greeted by rain the next day and we're kinda glad to see it. The temps are much cooler as a cold front must have passed through last night... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
