A Step Back.....

Winter Inn where we had a great burger & beer!
Marlin, Scott & Jody

Yesterday we went to an old mining town called Warren. Yeh....."old" doesn't really cut it...how about downright falling apart ancient ruins! We drove something like 45 miles....the last 14 of them uphill on a dirt gravel pothole bumpy ass road. Robert and I both think we lost a kidney up there. It was.....hrmmmm....interesting. We went up there for lunch at the Winter Inn because Marlin called and was told that we could get a good burger and fries there. So we bumped and bounced our way there. I thought at one point that I may have dislocated a rib, but I think the next pothole popped it back in place. We finally got there and Scott called on the walkie talkie and said they were ready for a burger & beer. I had Robert ask him which shanty were we eating at. We guessed it was the one with the locals sitting out on the front porch with the barking dog. We were right. So we went in, and walked over the sloped floor to the bar and asked if we could get some food. Yepum. We ordered, we all took our turns in the single bathroom. Jody asked how the chili was...we're out of chili. So she asked how the salad was...."yells back to kitchen...We got any lettuce left?" Nope. She was out of luck. She ate some fries. Have to admit it was a good burger. But then again...we could have just been so thrilled that we were still alive that anything would have tasted great!
