A trip to the Mining Camp Restaurant near Apache Junction, AZ. Several old buildings depicting days gone by as well as wagons and mine ore cars. Beer 5 cents and 25 cents for a bath. There is an old shovel that has had the engine removed. It would have been interesting to see what kind of power it had. It looked to be of the 1920's era, maybe earlier.
Clark Bostwick and Carol came by Nancy's and picked up the three of us and we met Ed and Bonnie Pearson at the restaurant.

The restaurant has a large area with all kinds of clothes, jewelry, belts, hats, etc. Lots of ways to get your money. We were seated at a long picnic type table and the food is served, family style. We had home made bread, rolls and raisin bread,
cole slaw, chicken & gravy, broasted potatoes, ham with glaze, green beans and lots of BBQ beef ribs. All very tasty, a bit pricey, but good food and a nice atmosphere and with good friends, made it a very enjoyable evening.
We are enjoying the nice weather here, even if it is a bit cooler than normal, it is quite tolerable. However, all good things must come to an end as we are getting "hitch itch" and are ready to get back on the road.
We will be leaving the middle of the week for Yuma and attend the Gypsy Journal Rally the second week in March. Then we will be heading east toward Indiana and anticipate being there the middle of April or so. I will list our itinerary as soon as it is complete as we have several hamfests lined up to work on our way to Indiana.
