Stayed in lake city last night. Buelligan told me of alpine moose lodge. Owned by Bruno and Fredrique. Bruno is a 5 star chef Frederique is a gem. I made reservations for dinner at 6. I let Frederique pick my wine I don't know what goes with lamb I'm a cowman. Really just a redneck. The food was fabulous.
The lamb
The tarimuse that Frederique made
I've never stayed at a nicer place its a 1950 era motel but clean and the most gracious host.
Mark: Frederique will you take a picture with me
Frederique: yes we must be close
Mark: OK
Frederique: but no divorce
Mark : we've been married 30 years we are not going anywhere.
Frederique: gooood
The picture does not do her justice she is an mature, elegant French Lady. It was a pleasure to dine with them.
The BDR was awesome.Andycbr told me some of the track was hard to follow and I missed this turn
Go figure
Small towns of Pitkin and Tincup on this section and Cumberland pass.
A couple of nice waters crossings and I'm into buena vista for supper at Jan's
Bart the DR will do great next month since your country boy won't be around to do the heavy lifting. ::013::
