I was going to end the blog,  then we spent a couple of nights in Lewes, Delaware and found some more adventures.  Once we got settled in the campground, we took a drive to the Cape May- Lewes ferry terminal.   

We sat at the outdoor bar,  enjoyed a couple of beers and had a nice conversation with a local couple while watching the ferry come in.  

The ferry can hold one hundred cars and one thousand passengers. 

The next day, we took a tour of Dogfish Head Craft Brewery.

The Steampunk Tree-house greets you at the entrance.  More on that later.

This is Lars, our tour guide.  He was a lot of fun and very knowledgeable. 

They age some of their beers for a month in wood vats before it is bottled.  They are the only brewery to do so.

Three of the vats are oak and two are made from Palo Santo wood from Brazil.  This is the densest and heaviest wood known.  It sinks when placed in water and    has a beautiful grain.  

Lots and lots of beer.

Dogfish Head is also a distillery.

They are producing Rum, Gin, Vodka and Whiskey still aging in barrels.

These are some of the distilling kettles.

Every one of those ports in the stack is a filter. 

It is a relatively small operation as distilleries go. 

Whiskey ageing  in kegs.

We were treated to a cocktail created by our guide.  Here is the recipe.  It was delicious.

We were introduced to Rocket Girl.  Beer kegs go into the containers at the rear of the rocket and beer is dispensed from a part of her anatomy, guess which part. 

At the end of the tour, we climbed the stairs to the Steampunk Tree-house.  It was built for the Burning Man Festival in Arizona.  The brewery bought it for a dollar and relocated it here.  Steampunk can be best described as a mix of Jules Verne and modern technology.  Another example would the movie and TV show, The Wild Wild West.

Only five of us at a time went up because it isn't all that big.  These are some views of it's contents.

The phone actually works and is connected to the brewery.

Ray guns.

We headed home by way of the Delmarva Peninsula and the Chesapeake Bay Bridge Tunnel.  

  

 We got home and the rig is put away until the next trip.  We love RVing!
