Off to the (Not So) Badlands: The Last Post

My next and last stay was another Harvest Host location, Burn 'Em Brewery in Michigan City, Indiana. I probably could have made it all the way home this day, but this would have made for an extra long trip (well over 8 hours), the last bit of which would have been in darkness. So I decided to add this extra stop.

I actually drove right past the brewery at first since it was nondescript and didn't look like a brewery (whatever that's supposed to be). My initial thought was, "Oh my!" However, I didn't have much choice, and as I learned previously, you just never know.

While the decor and layout were indeed unusual (there was no indoor seating, for one), the staff was friendly, and the beers were extremely tasty! The parking was across the street at what appeared to be a small, defunct truck depot. But the lighting was good, and it was very secluded. So, I felt pretty safe (there was actually another RV-er there from Texas).


The brewery and taproom, which appears to be in an old house.


I later moved Ansel to the back of the lot by the trailer you can see in the background.

The next day I drove home with a slight detour to visit a fraternity brother and his wife who were camping near my hometown of Jackson. I had texted him the night before about the brewery since Michigan City is close to where they have they have a cottage, wondering if he had ever been there (which he hadn't). That's when we decided to connect. It sure was great to see them, even if it was just for a short while!

So there we go, another trip in the books. And, it was a successful one, I feel. Even though I took far fewer images than during some of my other trips (only about 650 this time), overall I am pretty happy how they turned out. So with that I will finish this blog with some additional images.

Thank you everyone for taking the time to read my posts...I sincerely hope you enjoyed them (and the images especially, of course).

Till next time...
