After the big day yesterday most breakfast at 8:00am. Here was our camp for those who preferred sleeping out in the bush . . .

folks slept in . . . me until 5:15am, but some didn’t get up until 10:00am!!!  We pushed our trail routine back some and since we had a full kitchen at our disposal, coffee was at 7:00am and

. . . located n the backyard of the house we rented.

But we were in RV land with a jamboree of Class A motorhomes parked right next to us. No problems with noise there. They all looked older than us and were in bed by 8:00pm!!!

Chateau ACA . . .

. . .  Karen, a ‘million dollar view’ out the picture window.

Rod and Mark had cooking duties last night, this morning and for lunch. We didn’t eat until 8:00pm last night so it was rotisserie chickens (they bought all the chicken the store had) salads, bread and ice cream with chocolate sauce and bananas. YUM!!!

In the morning David and Doc Mike went downtown for breakfast but . . .

. . . Rod and Mark made breakfast to order for the rest of us!!!

Wade jumped in too to help with the scrambled eggs . . .

good coordination . . .

. . . produced a breakfast fit for a king!!! Over easy eggs, toast, pork sausages and hashbrowns with homemade tarragon cream Sauce . . .NICE!!!

 

After a big breakfast it was time to discuss the days activities. We were all given our lunch money of $5USD and would explore downtown, do laundry, fix bikes EAT, and maybe drink some too!!

I met Glenn the owner of our RV park. Great guy with a great sense of humor. He was just heading to the dump with about a WEEKS WORTH OF GARBAGE!!! He has ridden cross country 4 times and is anxious to do it again with his 13 year old son. His son has read all his journals and is always asking to go on a tour with Glenn. What a great father son bonding experience that would be. Memoires only the two of them would share for  the rest of their lives.

Once breakfast was over the kitchen crew cleaned up and everyone scattered for the day!

Denise, David and I did laundry together and while I was typing away, David delivered my laundry washed, dried and folded. What a gentleman!!!!

Eventually most of us walked downtown for lunch and some looking around.  Quite the little tourist town.

The four blocks of main street have authentic looking western store fronts that were all paid for by a woman whose family owned a local sawmill. Also shown here are two riders Wade met Hank and Andy. They are heading west to east too and look like they will be a day ahead of us . . . for the time being.

Guys are guys, wherever you go. her was a bunch from a vintage motorcycle club standing around looking at their bikes and talking about them!!!

Snaren, here  is one for you. When you are Winthrop . . . check it out!!!!

No not the Brooklyn Bridge but but the main thoroughfare for pedestrians to get from one side of the town to the other . . . nice!!

. . . of course you can also go by horseback.

One of the main draws in town is the Shafer museum. Interesting hunks of iron. Fun to guess what they were used for BEFORE you read the explanations.

Anne and Hugh made a yummy dinner tonight of marinated grilled flank steak and salmon . . .with all the fixin’s.

Grilled to perfection and slice on the bias . . .

. . .with salad, grill brussel sprouts, green beans, rice and beans,  chips salsa and homemade guacamole. Oh yeah, and three kinds of pie with ice cream!!!

Going to be hard to go back to one pot meals after this layover.
