I was in Perth and Freemantle (Western Australia) many years ago. There I saw a T-shirt with the words:

"There are two states to be in:
W.A. and P*ssed!"

Love that state! :cheers1: lol

Ahhhh...Mike I love that area. My wife and I were up there last year. Beautiful!

Thanks Roger, I do too. I deleted my post because I posted it in the wrong place by mistake, should have been in the Fedoras Afield thread and is now.

Roger a fine combination by the looks of it

Eric, Richard it was a mighty fine brew. Sheryl and I left there and went to the local river walk until the sun vanished then I talked her into going back over with me to have a glass of wine while I had a black and tan. Yummy

Mike I am glad you told me about moving the post I thought I was either losing it or my phone is acting up. We considered Olympic National park this year and I am very thankful we didn't do that. Maybe next year

Not used to mobile devices Roger. Here's something more appropriate to this thread.
Traveling with hats and essentials:



Fpriem Family Belgium Brewery, Hood River, Ore:

That's quite a selection of beers Mike!

 

[mikespens]

Not a big beer drinker Richard but with over a dozen to choose from thought I better do a sampler. Turns out my favorite was the one my wife ordered. Truth tell, they all had their bright spots and the light beer drinker ended up with the equivalent of 2 glasses and a big fill.

I always enjoy contributing to this thread.

But Perkeo has his own hat.

 

[Alive'n'Amplified]

Brew-Hat!!

Had some Lambrusco but didn't wear a hat.

I did buy a hat afterward if that counts! (Marathon)

Last year I posted some pics of the Union Hotel where Mrs B and I spent a night in Benicia, CA. We enjoyed the vintage atmosphere and furniture very much. We were tempted to spend the $200 on the room where Bogart had stayed in 1936, but opted instead to save the money and stay in a (much) cheaper room.

Last weekend we needed a place to spend the night in that area again, but alas...all the rooms were taken except for the one where Bogart had stayed. So we forked over the $ and enjoyed knowing that the coolest fedora wearer ever had occupied that same space some 77 years ago.

Knowing that Bogart was a man who enjoyed his bourbon (and brandy, and...and...and...), I knew I had to toast the man who made fedora wearing into a new art form. I knew if I didn't, I'd regret it. Maybe not today, maybe not tomorrow, but soon, and for the rest of my life. So...here's looking at you, kid!

Great photos Blackthorn, hope you enjoyed your stay. You can't beat Bogie for a tough guy!

"Beam me up, Scotty!" lol

Looks like a very nice place to spend some quality time. Thanks for sharing

Nice Blackthorn! I just watched Casablanca again on TCM Sunday.
