Spent a delightful four hours in a seminar (long distance operation - tips and tricks) - the conference doesn't "officially" start until tomorrow but people were doing stuff so hey...
I had heard about Camp 18 so drove down and had dinner there - holy cow, talk about a destination restaurant.
Here is their website - the place is on about 40 acres and has all kinds of logging and railroad equipment on display. Worth spending a day just to look at everything. There was a blacksmith shop but it was after 5:00PM and locked up. Dinner was excellent - I had the pot roast and it was almost as good as my own. Served with braised root vegetables plus onions and celery and oven roasted baby red potatoes. I didn't have lunch this afternoon as I was planning for this meal but still only got about half-way through. A lot of food. Needless to say, Grace was very happy to get her dinner tonight - the gravy was especially adored.
Here is their menu (PDF) and here is the page with the history. All the timber for the construction was felled and milled by the owner from local trees. There was also a very nice logger's memorial building with a great bronze statue and plaques for the local fallen loggers. I took some photos and will get them up after the conference.
Had two pints of beer at The Bridge Tender and sitting here surfing for a bit before bedtime. Early bed tonight as tomorrow is a full day with seminars starting at 9:00AM.
