Some Hosts you visit once; some you bookmark. Rush Creek Distilling earned a return in May — same Harvard gravel, warmer air, longer daylight.
The staff remembered the Airstream. That small recognition matters when you’re living mile to mile. We tried a seasonal pour we hadn’t seen in April and pretended we were locals who just happened to sleep in aluminum.
May in northern Illinois greened up overnight. We sat outside comparing tasting notes like wine snobs who also know how to dump grey water. No shame in either skill.
Silver Trekker verdict: Host loyalty goes both ways. Rush Creek stays on our map.
