Fairfield, CA (Travis AFB)
Hello Friends,
Last weekend during our drive from Missoula to Travis AFB down "scenic" High
way 95, Calida and I stopped for the night in bustling Winnemucca, NV. Our hotel, Winners, was straight from the 60's and considering the cheap price and lack of vermin and bullet holes I would consider our nights rest a pleasant one.
The morning sun kissed us awake and it was time to make for our last leg to Travis, but not with out a good morning meal! And boy oh boy were we in for some good eats!
Winnemucca is a one street town so all the local hot spots were easy to choose from. Our destination was clear: The Griddle.
We barely beat the after church brunch rush and grabbed a table in this nice greasy spoon. The diner was straight out of the fifties as a long counter greeted one on entrance and the color scheme was either straight from the 60's or is so faded that it just looks that way now. While the decor was a bit off putting the menu was spectacular. They had the typical cakes and eggs, however a whole page was dedicated to local specialties.
The fast and friendly service convinced me on the daily special, asparagus and Swiss Cheese omlete topped with Holdendaise Sauce. Calida opted for one of the menu specials an egg scramble featuring local Cajun sausage.
Needless to say, it was very very very good.
The 6 hour drive from Winnemucca to Fairfield, CA was pretty as (for the third time in two months) we drove over Donner's Peak in the Sierra Nevada's (That's an elevation of 7,200 feet on the pass - knowledge is power!). The week has been extremely busy since we are putting up a brand new show for the first time. When we aren't in rehearsal we are burying our noses in the scripts getting ready for the show tomorrow!
It's going to be a lot of fun and I can't wait to report it to you!
