Road Report #9: Fallentimber Meadery
Nathan Ryan and Colin Ryan are the third generation of a honey-producing farm in Water Valley. A couple of years ago, the brothers, former carpenters, teamed up to launch a new product using their own honey as supply: mead! As they show us, mead is not just for the Vikings.

Fallen Timber Ride Canada Day 2017
Went out for the Canada day weekend with some good friends of mine. Explored a whole bunch of trails, mudholes, steep hills, and took in the awesome scenery of the Alberta Foothills. We had lots of fun aside from running into pouring rain and hail,only to get lost in the bush a few hours later until it was pitch black out while freezing our butts off. Any how, it was an adventure and we celebrated with some Canada day fire works and sat around a big fire afterwards and had a few drinks. It was awesome.
