I too have a great urge to visit the Lost Creek Show Shop. Optics and boots under one roof. And a huge selection of both. Nirvana for me, as Mooreorless knows.
And even better still, American boots come in width fittings unlike British ones. I have very wide feet. I have yet to find a truly comfortable boot. The USA is my only hope I believe.
Sancho, shall I meet you there instead of Eire? We could have a glass of moonshine instead of stout
That reminds me, I need to buy a lottery ticket first.
MOONSHINE! (I'm shouting!)
This is Pennsylvania! William Penn's woods! This isn't "Thunder Road" country my good man!
At one time we had some fine whiskey distilled and bottled here. In fact there was quite a lot of it until the father of our country, George Washington, looking for something to keep himself busy, shut down the whiskey rebellion in the western part of the state.
Old Overholt, an excellent straight rye whiskey was recently distilled and bottled around Carlisle, PA, famous for it's limestone trout stream, the Letort. The trout remain but the whiskey is gone. And then, not far from there, near Lebanon, PA was Michter's Distillery. Home of the only legitimate Pot Still Whiskey made in the USA. I took my wife on a tour there on one of our first dates. The Distillery is in dry dock now but our marriage still is strong.
You like Stout? Stoudt's microbrewery is not far. It is in Adamstown. You can sample a variety of Stoudt's brews there, not just one Stout.
