Tour de Tanks Event Madison, Wisconsin

We had a great time at the Tour de Tanks event at Maple Bottom (our little urban homestead) this weekend.  Beautiful weather and even more beautiful conversations!

Got the try out the new backyard classroom.  Had some of the most creative and thoughtful questions and suggestions from Paul, Ben, Don, and Jocelyn.  Stellar breakfast prepared and served by Elizabeth, Elizabeth, and Marilou.   Gorgeous photos by Ken Sweitzer.

My personal favorite moment was when Ben's six-year-old son Finn met the trout.  He didn't take his eyes off the tank for at least an hour.

Enjoy the photos.  The full album can be found at www.kentsweitzerphotography.com.

Can't wait to keep the conversation going!

Thanks!

I didn't. I had them drain the refrigerant.  The only safe way to do it is through the lid.

Finally got over here. Looks great! Lots of fun and happy faces. I see the little one in the oven.

How did you go about finding your way between coils when drilling the freezer? Running it for a few minutes with the top open should show their where-abouts pretty quick with condensation I would guess. Still a bit nerve wracking especially if you want to run it to chill the water.
