Better read up on the beer BREWING process there, Jon. Distillation &
beer don't go together.
Closest we got to touring the actual Bacardi distillery in San Juan in
June was driving by the distillation towers. Woo-freakin'-hoo. I saw
distillation towers when I worked at GE.

Gotta make sure we find a campground that'll tolerate that. We can get

Geocaching is fun. Haven't done it enough lately (meaning in the last 2
years).

That brings a whole new level of equipment we'd have to bring (assuming
you mean backpacking), plus permits, wild animal issues, etc.
