<\/a><\/p>\n. . . first order of business on a rest day is a \u2018hearty breakfast\u2019. Was thinking of going downtown to the award winning Pancake House, but when I checked Trip Advisor and it said the Sunny Day Diner was only 375 feet away from where I am staying . . . I went for it!!!<\/p>\n
. . . and was not disappointed. Western omelet with Provolone cheese and about a pot of coffee . . . let\u2019s get on with the day!!!<\/p>\n . . . on the way back to my room, as I crossed the bridge, I saw the cabins Deanna has that back up to the river. NICE!!!!\u00a0 Beside the usual bike maintenance there was of course time to explore the town of Lincoln.<\/p>\n The town of Lincoln is ga,ga (obviously a money maker) over train rides with no fewer than three different operations offering a variety of train rides out into the countryside. You can hear their air powered whistles every 30 minutes or so as one announces its loading and departure. Right behind where I was staying was Clark\u2019s Trading Post which had an \u2018old town\u2019 western motif complete with train rides . . .<\/p>\n . . . and sadly a live bear show. I\u2019m not one to appreciate using use wild animals to perform, whether bears, porpoises, dolphins or lions. They do have electric fences though in case Yogi or BooBoo get a little frisky and want to go after little Johnny’s cotton candy!!!!<\/p>\n The biggest operation was the HoBo Village. Hotel, mini-golf, go-carts, huge gift shop and of course, train rides . . .<\/p>\n . . . that went right through the middle of town when heading out to the countryside.<\/p>\n . . . they did have a bunch of nice old cars that were in varying stages of refurbishment.<\/p>\n . . . and there was the dinner train operation.\u00a0 Two hour long ride, over 20 miles, with Five Award Winning food courses. At $95 not a bad deal (gratuity and drinks additional)!!<\/p>\n I stopped by the AirB&B to see what was up. Nice place! Five of the gang slept out in the backyard last night. All but Jim have moved into the house for tonight . . . it\u2019s going to be a low of 39 degrees!!!<\/p>\n Ally, our housemother and princess, was enjoying a nice cup of joe . . .<\/p>\n . . . her boudoir was right off the kitchen!!!!<\/p>\n Corvin was comfortable and doing what Corvin does . . . staying connect to the world!!!<\/p>\n Lincoln is a year round destination resort area . . . and as you can see one season sort of flows into the next . . .<\/p>\n Map meeting tonight at 7:00pm at the house. Several of us are considering going out for Thai . . . I\u2019m still full from breakfast . . .<\/p>\n . . . but not so fulI I couldn’t enjoy a nice little brownie Sunday with vanilla ice cream, hot fudge, walnuts whipped cream and a cherry. IT WAS ONLY ONE SCOOP. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n BUT THIS DESSERT, AT ANYTIME OF THE DAY MADNESS, HAS TO STOP!!!!!!<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Good nights sleep last night . . . went to bed at 9:30pm and didn\u2019t get up until 8:00am, Must have needed it!!! . . . first order of business on a rest day is a \u2018hearty breakfast\u2019.
