Hammy loves his goats; in all shapes and forms. This fall, those goats were drunk, like Henry Clay drunk. So was the birth of the Tipsy Goat Rally.
Goal: acquire breweries, wineries, meadiaries and distilleries. No limit; Hammy apparently hasn't learned from the monuments or the mufflermen or the.... you get the point.
If a rider had chosen to do so, there are nearly 100 breweries/brewpubs in the metro-DC area. This is page one of the Google results:

At this point in downtown Lancaster, I switched from the GPS going to Yoders [which showed plenty of time to continue to work the remaining six stops or so in Lancaster] to Waze going there, which said "dude, you're already inside your window; roll." So I did even passing up a stop that added only 2 minutes to my route.
I arrived at Yoders with about 15 minutes to spare considering at 4 pm a rider was time barred. After getting my score of 60, dinner to be had and awarded third for my efforts, just a couple of points behind second and third.
thanks Hammy!!
