That machete story has got to be the funniest tale I've heard in any trip report thus far. I was cracking up! "He pulls out a rusted machete and we think we are now dead." "fell off the turnip truck" lol!
"stick a fork in me, I was done" hahaha!
I'm loving this trip report so far! Please keep it coming! It's really great!
P.S. Totally agree with you about Ty. Definitely one of the best bartenders of all time!
