The DSNGR is a wonderful train ride up to Silverton. Though the one way that returns via bus might be a little easier to do. Hence if you notice the rest of the set doesn’t have many pictures from the way back.

I went outside after our first night at the cabin and saw an amazing sight. Clouds were forming off the lake on the cold October morning.

Pumpkin Ale

We found a use for our pie pumpkins today. Ale!  We started a batch of Pumpkin ale based off of a American Amber Ale.  We got the recipe from Do Your Brew.  We happend to be in the north part of the Denver area for a soon to be newphew’s birthday party and we decided to try to find something to do with our pumpkins.  The little pumpkin was 2 pounds and smelled quite tasty as we baked it for the beer.  This one is a little darker than our other Amber Ale recipe.  It’s also quite clearer because we used bags for the hops and grains instead of just for the grains.

Original Specific Gravity: 1.07

Morning Glorys are such beautiful flowers. This was growing on the fence that surrounds the Bear Creek Gardens.

Here’s an heirloom tomato. I think we waited a little too long to pick them.
