Rocks, Beers & Mead In Prescott, AZ
We never planned to rock this way.
Waaay back when we were “jello planning” our post-Grand Canyon route we thought we’d spend about a month lazily boondocking our way across the desert to Desert Hot Springs. It was a good plan, a solid plan until several things happened at once. First of all the weather went all crazy (rains, storms, weird freezes etc.), then our house batteries conked out (specifically one of the cells died) and finally I started coming down with something. The trifecta of “stuff” suddenly made boondocking seem less appealing, especially since we don’t want to rush the battery replacement decision, so we took a chance and booked two weeks in a private park amongst the rocks. It was way out of character for us, I suffered for days in bed (chills, aches), it froze, it snowed (I kid you not!) and we ended up having a rocking good time.
Thus is the essence of RV life. Sometimes you get sick, unexpected cr*p happens, plans get routinely thrown out the window and yet…everywhere you go has something cool to offer, if you’re open to looking. I always say RV life is just like real life, only more intensely so….and with wheels.
The town of Prescott is no exception. This bustling north-central Arizona city sits at the foot of the Bradshaw Mountains at 5,354 feet. Its elevation separates it from the harsh desert only ~50 miles south giving it a “mountain air” feel with ponderosa pine, juniper and all four seasons. Its natural setting has made it a rather popular spot with outdoorsy folk, and its historic downtown (complete with Whisky Row and central square) attracts tourists and locals alike.
For our tastes it has cool rocks (well, very cool and very oooold rocks), a TON of hiking trails, several breweries and (my personal favorite) mead.
Not surprisingly we were not the only ones who decided to come here.
Our RV buddies the lovely Lowes turned up while we were here and we got to reconnect with them several times through food and drink (Mona Liza, I’m still swooning over your lumpia). We first met these fulltime RVers two years ago and their goal at the time was to visit all lower 48. In the short space since we saw them they’ve managed all but 4! I’m routinely impressed by folks who travel this much since (by comparison) we are turtle-slow and so “west-based” we sometimes forget there’s another coast out there.
We also met three different sets of readers and had happy hour with two of them, the lovely and vivacious ladies Toni and Mary who introduced us to Granite Brewing (thank you very much), and fellow photo nuts Bill and Dianne.
So now that I’ve spoiled the story and given you the whole run-down here’s a little more detail on the details:
Granite Dells Hiking & Biking
I knew about the Prescott rocks long before we came here. Several of our RV buddies have stayed here in blogs past, and their rocky pics had me salivating my little photo pixels waaaay before we arrived.
The whole NE area of Prescott is a veeery old area (up to ~1.4 billion years old) known as the Granite Dells. Geologically it’s a cracked and weathered mass of granite formed over millions of years by the cooling and stressing of deeply buried molten batholith. Visually it’s a rich picture of golden boulders intricately woven and balanced together in an exquisite granite fabric.
In the middle lies Watson Lake, a popular kayak spot and a beautiful reflector of the natural sculptures around it. Even better, a large portion of it is public land criss-crossed by an extensive set of public trails. It’s an outdoor-lovers playground, a grown-up kids scrambling spot, a place both you (and your doggie pals) can lose yourself amongst the rocks.
The RV park we’d managed to snag was right amongst these rocks, so we were able to hike (or bike) directly from camp into the stone wilderness, and we spent the vast majority of our days in Prescott doing exactly that. We managed the ~5-mile hike all the way around Watson Lake, and an ~8-mile bike ride along the super flat & scenic Lakeshore & Iron King Trails. Even the kitties got into the action, climbing and jumping around the boulders by our campsite. We planned for many more hikes too, but whatever flu I’d caught meant our more extensive adventures had to be canceled.
NOTE/ ALL of the trails around Prescott are dog-friendly (100%). You can download on-line maps HERE, or pick-up a paper hiking map at your RV park or in one of the many the map containers around Watson Lake.
Prescott Breweries
I cannot deny that one of the things that attracted us to come to Prescott was the availability of 3 local breweries. In-between my flu periods we managed to try all three of them, and definitely ended up with some favorites:
- Black Hole Beer Company– This was our biggest surprise gem. This super-cute and cozy-modern brewery just a few miles west of town is not only extremely dog-friendly (a huge outdoor seating area both covered and uncovered, all paw-friendly), but they offered some tasty pub food and outstanding beers. Their in-house brews were actually so-so, but their guest tap list was SUPERB. Paul had an Oak Creek IIPA that was out of this world, and I had a Ten-Fidy Russian Imperial Stout (Oskar Blues) that was amongst the best stouts I’ve had anywhere. This place is worth coming to just for the atmosphere and guest taps alone. It ended up being our fav brewery in town. DOG friendly (outdoor area)! Click HERE for more info.
- Prescott Brewing Company – This is the original downtown brewery and considered rather the local institution. It was decent all-around (food OK, beer OK), but not as exciting as I imagined it would be. The Achocolypse Porter was probably our fav here, but none of the other brews really stood out (sorry). NO dogs allowed. Click HERE for more info.
- Granite Mountain Brewing – Located just down the road from Prescott Brewery, this intimate brewery ended up being our #2 fav spot in town. Their in-house brews were all high quality and very satisfying. The Milk Stout and Pumpkin Porters, although not as intense as I typical like them were both very tasty, and the English Brown was an all-around favorite. If we lived here, this would certainly become a regular hangout. Only bummer? NO dogs allowed. Click HERE for more info.
Superstition Meadery
Ever had Mead? As a natural-born Viking I know all about Mead, but as non-Vikings you may not.
This honey-fermented drink is one of the oldest alcoholic beverages in the world, and if it’s done right it mixes the complex qualities of a fine wine and the smooth bite of a top-notch spirit with just a hint of sweetness and flavor. It’s fairly easy to make, but it’s very difficult to make well so there are very, very few that do it right. Superstition Meadery is one of those places.
Located in the basement of a cute store (with free chocolate sauce tastings by the way), this gorgeous tasting room offers some of the best Mead I have ever tasted. We went here with Mona Liza & Steve and had the full 12-flight tasting, each and every one of which was unique, complex and superb. Our favorites were the Ymir, Tahitian Honeymoon and Dancing Goat (yes, there’s a story to that one…ask the server for the details), but honestly every single one we tried was fantastic. Outside of hiking the rocks this ended up being my favorite thing that we did in Prescott. DO NOT MISS it!
Note/ Superstition Meadery is inside a store so NO dogs allowed. Click HERE for more info on the Meadery.
That was really the bulk of what we got up to. We did also hit the local farmers market (very nice & dog-friendly too) and we had two mentionable meals, a tasty pizza dinner at family owned Papa’s Italian Restaurant and an excellent tapas meal at El Gato Azul (outstanding, a total recommend!).
Oh and yeah….we did have SNOW too, which is waaaay early for this area and the main reason we’ve moved on today. Lower altitudes and warmer temps are calling to us, plus we have some more buddies we want to meet. Also despite our battery issues I’m dying to do a few days of boondocking before we reach the “bigger cities”. We’ll see if I get my wish.

Hi Nina and Paul
Another great location for us to check out, thanks
We are spending Jan and Feb in AZ, Ive just made my appointment in Los Algadones with Dr Urena for new dentures, the first week of January.
I think we’ll go check out the rocks now too, we’ll also be attending our first Quartzsite Rv event.
Quick question do you have any recommendations for prescription glasses in Los Algadones ?
Thanks, stay safe
Rusty, Kelly and dog Izzy
I haven’t personally gotten glasses in Los Algodones, but our friends Watson’s Wander did and they liked Best Optical. I’ve seen them mentioned in a few other blogs too, so maybe I’d recommend trying there?
Nina
Thank you Nina
Well look them up
Regards
Rusty
Hope you’re back to feeling 100 percent, Nina. As you said, RV life is real life — just condensed into a smaller space and thus more intense. I remember when Eric got the flu just two weeks into our full-timing journey. We survived (it was a miracle that I didn’t get it, too, being in such a small space!) and I think he recovered in record time because he wanted to be out having fun! 🙂 Looks like you had a great time in Prescott despite the flu and other trials — sweet that you reconnected with MonaLiza and Steve and other friends! Be well.
I hate being sick. Been several years since I had anything so I felt particularly sorry for myself LOL. Thankfully a few days of solid rest seem to have done the job. I’m still getting tired in the afternoons, but I’m feeling good the rest of the time.
Nina
This area does have so much to offer. We really enjoyed our time there and look forward to returning. Glad you had fun but so sorry to hear you were ill. Fun time with new and old friends:) How nice to reconnect with Steve and MonaLiza. We are looking forward to your arrival later this week!!!! Safe travels!
Your blog posts about this area were one of the ones that inspired us to come here. Can’t wait to see you too!
Nina
Oh, man…flashbacks to my flu last winter, Nina! We hope you are feeling better! Are you going to visit Kelly and Al (Bayfield Bunch) in Congress?
The mead sounds yummy! Is it gluten free? My guess is that it would be. Hopefully you make it far enough east to check out Michigan’s west coast one of these years! Both Grand Rapids and Traverse City have great breweries, and we’d love to see Wheelingit’s take on the Leelanau Peninsula.
Yes, and yes. Going to see Bayfield Bunch this AM and mead is gluten-free
And yeah I can’t deny we’d love to see MI at some point. Besides the breweries there’s all those wonderful lighthouses {droool}!
Nina
Nina –
A question from a newbie, not yet on the road – since it snowed on you up there in the hills, did the temperature become cold enough for you to have to run antifreeze through the pipes? In other words do RVers have to do this the moment the temp drops below 32, even if the rig is being used (not stored)?
Thanks,
Steve and Liz
Most people don’t run antifreeze thro their lines unless they’re storing the rig (leaving it unattended) or wintering somewhere really, really nutty cold, and it didn’t get near cold enough for that while we were here.
It needs to be below freezing day and night for quite a while before things start freezing up inside the coach, and even then just pulling in the hoses and keeping the rig warm (inside) is usually good enough.
While we were here it got below freezing several nights, but it warmed up again during the day. So, we just unhooked and rolled in the water hose, but that was about it. It never got anywhere cold enough for us to worry about our tanks or sewer hose.
Nina
Great rundown on Prescott Nina. We are still there in the Valley. It did get colder than we anticipated here! We are ready to head farther south later this week. Hope you are back to feeling good soon.
Temps are much cooler than they usually are this time of year. Last year temps didn’t “break” in the desert until around mid-Nov. This year it’s already happened. I think it’s going to be a wet and cold winter.
Nina
Thanks for all the recommendations, we are there the 24th… Will have to try many of your suggestions… Hope you are feeling better!
I think you’ll love all these spots especially the Meadery and El Gato Azul. So much more we didn’t try, but that’ll have to be for next time.
Nina
Love Prescott and Watson Lake! What campground did you stay at? Glad you’re feeling better!
We stayed at Point of Rocks. Review coming next…
Nina
Love your reviews!
I love Prescott and it’s even on the short list of places to settle down one day. Mona Liza’s Lumpia? I don’t dare tell my husband. He loves her Lumpia. Sounds like a fun and diverse time in lovely Prescott. Hope you’re feeling better.
The Lumpia was fabulous…just fabulous. I won’t tell anyone 🙂
Nina
Gorgeous photo of the pup “Rocking It Early AM at Watson Lake.” Wow, looks like a painting. 🙂
Hi again Nina, sorry you have been I’ll but glad to know you’re recovering.
Also sorry to hear you have had battery issues, but I am very interested to know what you are opting for as replacements? Since our recent communication regarding tilting solar panels, Peter and I have ordered the kits from AM solar, and all the gear for 400 amp hour litium ion batteries through Starlight Solar in Yuma. The batteries come from Elite here in Phoenix so Peter picked them up on his way home from work Friday. Now to get it all installed 🙂
And Peter is going to program our MPPT to control the charging, so interesting times ahead!!
As always, we look forward to knowing what you will do next.
Stay well
Sally
OH SWEEEET! We’re definitely considering Lithium. It all depends how long we keep the RV, whether we decide to downsize etc. Some of this depends on family (health issues) too, so we’re going to delay our decision a few more months before we make the leap. But Lithium is definitely high in the running.
Nina
Just curious…why lithium? We are starting our FT adventure & are planning on $10,000 budget for solar because we want the freedom. Thinking 800-1000 Amos will be good to power most of what we will need if we stay in moderate climates, not needing much as far as heat or AC.
Lithium has a lot of advantages such as higher amp hour density (for a given weight), no absorb charge, lower internal resistance, larger discharge range etc. If you want to read more I highly recommend my buddies Technomadia series:
http://www.technomadia.com/lithium/
Nina
Hi Debbie
We did a lot of research into the house battery options and the comments Nina makes, as well as the info on technomadia’s blog weighed heavily into our decisions.
We have recently bought our second RV, as we will be full timing from early next year. The 4 house batteries installed in this RV (2015 Itasca) are pretty lousy, and the RV has a residential fridge which you probably know means it does not run on propane at all. We prefer boondocking, so need LOTS of battery power, and the advantages of lithium with solar just seem to us to be worth the upfront cost, particularly as we plan to live in this RV for many years – as Nina says, how long they will keep “The Beast” is one of the factors they need to take into account when making their decision about their new batteries, it’s a significant $$ outlay for lithium compared to even AGM batteries, let alone the typical wet batteries used in RVs.
Technomadia has recently posted an update on their lithium adventure, and their info is really great. AM Solar, who I believe installed a lot of Nina and Paul’s solar, have GREAT videos on installing the panels, and of course Nina’s series on their solar installation are a wonderful resource to get you started on the process, if you haven’t already reviewed them all!
Have fun.
Sally
Nina, I hope it’s ok for me to give Debbie my 5c worth??
Thanks for the info, Sally
Oh definitely OK Sally! Thanks for weighing in.
Nina
Excellent article as usual…….. Glad your feeling better….. Thanks for all your writings.. You really need to do a book…..
One day our paths will cross……. Lee and Shelia
Well this is awkward, as I usually find Nina’s views on locations to be accurate.
Please, anyone that has never been to the Prescott area, save yourself from this agony of a location. New good hiking, no history, no eclectic campground scattered in the rocks, no Costco, no – well, just say no.
Yep, the fewer of you that visit Prescott, the better for my wife and I who find this town to be one of our favorites!!!!
The Boulders of the Dells is great, Watson lake is a fun hike, and seeing the small damn is always neat too. Good kayaking lake too. As you head West our of Prescott towards Skull Valley, you are into the pines area, also very neat.
One of the key things we like about the Point of Rocks, besides the old Volvo of the owners son, is that you can get all the seasons. It is amazing how cold it can get here!!!
Hope you are feeling better. And look forward to seeing what way you and Paul go on the battery replacement. We made small alterations, and squeezed X4 L16’s lifelines into where our X2 8D’s used to sit. If doing it today, we’d take a close look at the Lithium options today… Know you are good friends with a certain couple that were early internet sharers of the Lithium’s in their rolling bus. So, you have a good source to tap on that knowledge front…
Will wait for your solution update this time around:)!
Tavel safe,
Smitty
HA! Nice comment. It’s best to warn people properly 🙂
Nina
Smithy, you forgot to warn people about Trader Joe’s, Sprouts, two Chipotles, one of the best public libraries (for a town this size); and for caffeine cravers, more coffee houses than one can imagine for this “little” area.
Oh, and stay away the first two Saturday’s in December. The first for standing on the Plaza to watch the lighting of the county Courthouse, the second for Acker Night, locals’ favorite that’s a fundraiser for youth music programs, with downtown merchants staying open with a musical group performing inside and cookies, hot cider or hot cocoa….
Many reasons why we RV part time and now call this area home.
Oh so true Nina!!! We’ve had the same experience twice this fall. Our “hey since we’re near IA let’s stop at the Winnebago place and have everything checked” turned into 2 weeks waiting to get our wiring to code (our solar “installer” had wired the MoHo so badly that we were greeted with “we cannot let you leave with the coach”) but yielded a whole new group of friends who were, like us, Non-Appointments and waiting to be fit into slots where they weren’t working on “appointment” coaches. Since the campground was nice and FREE and had 50amp service we ended up both relieved and happy. Then I (because I do not make a lot of small mistakes but save them up to make one colossal one at a time) left our toad (manual, CRV) in REVERSE when we drove from Davenport IA to Hannibal MO. Of course, since we were staying in a state park this meant we were 10 miles from the nearest mechanic and were it not for our wonderful camp host who lent us his car for a day, we would have been stuck at the, admittedly gorgeous, park for the week. The car was “fixed” to the point that we were able to get it back to the campground and tow it to St Louis where it was determined I had created the need for a new engine, transmission and clutch. Life happens but the best part was that our intended 3 days in St Louis (hey let’s just go see the Arch at least) turned into a week and we spent a day at City Museum (one of my all time favorite places) and saw the Arch as well as the phenomenal Cathedral Basilica of St Louis (largest mosaic collection in the world), Grant’s Farm and Whitehaven and The St Louis Art Museum all while in a downtown (noisy but convenient) RV park. And not only was the “touristing” great but a middle school performing arts band practiced right next door and I got to get my groove on one afternoon listening to and photographing but our campground owner gave us a lead on a wonderful COE park in the Ozarks where we headed next. We feel like we were handed a bushel of the best lemons for making lemonade and sugar to boot!
BTW, I started reading your blog back in Dec last year when we’d just sold our house and bought the MoHo but never realized I could sign up for daily notifications. Some old friends, who are FTming out west just sent me the health insurance post and now I am happily receiving your posts via email.
Certainly sounds like you’ve had your fair share of “stuff” in the short time you’ve been on the road, but you took it in stride and make the most of the places you were stuck. I think that being able to do this (roll with the punches) is so very key to enjoying the fulltime RV experience. It’s not necessarily that more “stuff” happens on the road (maybe a little, but not overly so), only that it’s often more inconvenient, in a place we don’t know, far from repair spots, at a time that ruins our plans etc. etc. Jello travel is key!
Nina
Oh and I neglected to say I hope you’re feeling better though with all that mead you should be. I am from St Croix, USVI (former Danish possessions) so if you ever go there you will have a chance to sample our own local mead from http://wrightapiary.com/.
We’ll be headed west next year (after my little sister’s 60th and leap year son’s “5th” in FL in Feb) so I am saving all of your excellent campground reviews. We tend to stay at the same kinds of places, although in our “golden age” we get to do it often for half price, so your reviews (which are excellent) are saving me lots of time as I look at where we may head.
Oh YUM! I’ve actually been interested in going to St.Croix for many years, especially because of its Danish history. Had no idea they made Mead there too. One day I’ll make it out there!
Nina
Woke up this morning and saw a spike in our site. So how do we get a huge jump in views on our blog? Easy, get mentioned on your blog! Steve is even thinking of changing the name of our site to “The Lovely Lowes”. We had a great time with you guys and hope to do it again someday. Polly is my fave dog now.
We’re heading over to Black Hole Beer Company in a couple of days to check out that stout. We hope they’ll fill our growler!
My throat is scratchy and had been hacking last night. I hope I don’t have a La Nina brewing in me 🙂
Oh noooooo! I SURE hope I didn’t pass anything to you. By the time we saw you the worst of my symptoms were gone, but I guess it’s still possible I was infectious. I sure hope not!!! In any case it was LOVELY to see you both…plus I will be thinking of those lumpia for a looong time.
Nina
I just love, and miss, the Prescott area. This weird weather has certainly changed our plans way too many times. Plus also had a bout of some “stuff”. Say hi to Al and Kelly on your visit to Congress.
So far it’s been unseasonably cold and rainy here in the SW. We are definitely seeing the effects of El Niño. Hopefully the rest of winter won’t be too crazy, although I can’t deny the SW desperately needs the rain. Oh well…that’s why we have wheels right?
Nina
As always, lovely pictures and good information. Just a side note: I’ve made mead, and I agree that it’s delicious! Can’t really brew it up in a moving vehicle, sadly.
Parker
So, interestingly enough I met an RVer recently (during the ABQ Balloon Festival actually) who brews Mead on the road. He even gave the Xscapers group a “how to” presentation, but we weren’t able to attend it. We DID manage to taste some of it though. Not as good as the stuff we had in Prescott, but pretty decent.
Nina
Thank you for your blog posts. Don’t comment as I am learning for future travels, but wanted to let you know your posts are appreciated.
Thanks so much! I always appreciate encouraging comments 🙂
Nina
Still reasonably warm up in Napa Valley and lots of wine left to drink. 😉 But I can see that it will soon be time to head further south. 🙂
We haven’t been to Napa since we lived in San Francisco many years ago. I bet it’s changed a ton since then. I’d love to go back in the rig and hang out a while. We do love Napa/Sonoma wines.
Nina
Great post! We’ve been to Prescott. Love it there. Hiked the Granite Dells but didn’t know about the bike trails. We will check them out next time we are there and the Mead! Glad your feeling better!
The bike trails were fabulous and the free trail map (that you can pick up everywhere) actually “grades” them by color. So you can choose the bike trail to match your biking level! We took the “green” trails that followed some of the old railroad tracks. Very flat and easy, but also extremely scenic.
Nina
Just wanted to say I appreciate all the time spent on your posts. They’re excellent and really enjoy reading them!
We really enjoyed Prescott, I’m glad you did too! Though we did not visit the meadery, a friend shared a bottle of one of their brews and it was quite special. Can’t wait to go back and check out the breweries and the meadery in person!
I have to admit the Meadery was a fabulous surprise. Didn’t really expect it to be so good, but they really do make delicious stuff. My only regret is that I wished we could have hiked more trails in this area. There are SO many! Next time…always a next time…
Nina
That picture of Polly at the lake is gorgeous … but then again…all your pictures are amazing!!
Even though you were under the weather it seems you definitely made the best of your time in Prescott. The Mead probably helped with the recovery
We are headed to Joshua Tree National Park and surroundings for a few weeks and wonder if you have favorite boondocking places near the Park. We also travel with 4 paws (Sydney) and want to go exploring where she can join us. After some boondocking we’re thinking of staying at Sam’s for a bit and from your review it looks like there is lots of wide open space for walkabouts. May you continue to feel better.
We haven’t personally boondocked by Joshua Tree, but I know there are spots both north and south of the park on BLM land. You can download the BLM land maps here (look halfway down):
http://www.nps.gov/jotr/planyourvisit/camping.htm
As for doggies Joshua Tree does not allow doggies on any trails (unfortunately), only park roads. There are several dirt park roads that you can take them walking on (ask at the ranger station), and you can certainly drive around to the viewpoints in your car, but sadly you won’t be able to do any hiking trails. Here’s more info:
http://www.nps.gov/jotr/planyourvisit/pets.htm
Nina
Thanks for the info Nina. Can’t wait to see how what the sunsets in the desert are like. It seems strange to picture the sun setting over the sand rather than the sea…i sure do love those!
I do love the sea, but I have to admit I love the winter desert too. The sunsets here are special.
Nina
It was a pleasure to meet you all. So enjoyed putting a voice, with a name, with a face:). I hope your travels are safe and you stay healthy. Totally enjoy your blog. Lithium batteries are a huge investment. I’m interested to hear your decision on that.
Dianne
“Snake” wine if you remember…
It was great to meet you both too…and thanks for the “snake wine”. I think it may be the only time we ever receive a wine like that 🙂
Nina
We’re sorry we missed spending F2F time with you due to our hockey commitment, and very sorry to hear you were under the weather. Please do come back to the Prescott area again one year. There’s so much to see! May, June, and October are the best months.
Our dog loves the Peavine trail, a Rails-to-Trails project by the city.
Do return some day!
We biked part of that trail and thoroughly enjoyed it. We liked Prescott a lot and will definitely be back one day.
Nina
Good!
Whenever you return, check out the Barley Hound:
http://thebarleyhound.com
Brews and a big, dog-friendly patio.
Nice tip! Thank you!
Nina
Hope you are fully recovered by now Nina. It has been several years since we spent much time in Prescott. We know it has grown considerably during our time away so we might not recognize it anymore. Looks like a return trip is in order.
Hi Nina,
I was curious about how highway 89 is between Prescott and Congress- in my Mountain Directory West, it sounds kinda hairy. Did you take the local road through Skull Valley?
Exactly. We by-passed that section of 89 and went the long way around via Iron Springs Rd. Much easier for “the beast”.
Nina
Sounds like a great place. I once worked with a gun smith who graduated from gunsmith college in Prescott, he was full of tales of the Prescott life.
Based on reading your blog, as well as others, we have jumped into the nomad life. For the winter anyhow, and after 6 days on the road, we have settled for a couple of weeks here in Golden Shore Az. Nice little campground here with a decent price. We boon-docked most of the way down, staying at only 2 parks the rest were either free parks or truck stops. All fun, and after 44 years of marriage, we feel almost like newlyweds again in our little 35 foot motor-home. You see the motor on the pump to extend the slide outs has failed, leaving us with a 3 slide/no slide motor home for 2 weeks while the parts are on order from the east coast according to the repair service in Kingman. Thanks for the great reviews, Prescott is on our shot list as well but after the snow season has gone by the wayside.
I’ve been catching up on the blog this morning as I’ve been oit of toich for a while. It seems Prescott is quite an interesting area. Nice to know.
But you really had me at the Meadery! Wow, that would be a pleasure indeed. I’ve never been to a Meadery, don’t know much about it, but do know that I like some good mead. Sadly I don’t run across it much and have a tendency to forget about asking when I stop into places. Thanks for the reminder to see if I can locate me some good mead again. Cheers! 🙂
It was a unique and surprising stop for us too. An excellent place, excellent.
Nina
