It was such a beautiful day that I got off of my exercise bike and thought it was time that I gave my new (bought last Christmas 😊) Nordic walking sticks. I normally have a difficult time walking any distance so that's where the walking sticks come in. They help me stay upright and keep my balance when walking. I have to admit I didn't go very far - a one mile total walk for 30 minutes. We have a nice walking path along the road into town and it goes right by the old Mantorville Brewery ruins. I took a picture going downhill and then one when I turned around at the bottom of the hill and started my journey home. Here's a little history of the brewery - Mantorville Brewery Caves - history: https://detritusofempire.blogspot.com/2015/09/forgotten-brewery-caves-mantorville.html

The Mantorville Brewery ruins are getting a little TLC and restoration and it amazes me after living here since 1978 and venturing into the "cave" once before deciding it wasn't very smart. I thought I would share this article with some historic photos of what it once was.
