Hey everyone,
Just an additional " FYI ", for those of you interested & not familar with the area ?
We decided to travel lite , as there are several stores / markets in town , to stock up on any needed items; Vons / Do-it Center / Rite Aide.. !
There are always " BEARS " to consider & we didn't have a " Bear Box " in our Camp Site ..
And sure enough , they did show up, late at night.
My girlfriend is really " Afraid " of the Bears ! I on the other hand.., see them as just another " RED MEAT BBQ " item to consider
I could use another " Mountain Man Coat "..
So, we decided to plan our meals on a " Day to Day Basis " , which as it turned out , we ate out on the road most of the time.
Here's a list to consider.
1. Breakfast:
The stove also serves "Dinner" & whatever " Prime Rib " is left over .. They serve the following morning, as "
Prime Rib Hash,with Eggs".. My favorite item !!
2. Lunch /Dinner:
In my opinion,
Best Pizza in town ,and they serve the local " Micro Brewed BEER ".
Very decent Burgers, right next to " Grumpy's " , which is a Sports Bar.
First floor " Formal Dining " .
Second floor , " Bar " area
" HAPPY HOUR " prices (starts 5 PM).
They not only serve the local " Micro Brewed Beer ".. It's made here !!
Very decent " Mexican Style " food !! (Village area).

We were a bit burnt out eating " Burgers / Steaks /Hot Links, Fries , etc " & decided to try something different.
I've driven past the place (over a few years), but never stopped . I personally love " Thai cuisine ".
We were both pleased with the food & rated it as a " Thumbs Up "
Beer Tasting, near the Village!
