Overland Hotel, Fallon, NV
{Click on any photo to view the full size image}{underlined items are hot links to more information about the item underlined}It is Wednesday of the our motorcycle trip from Cortez, CO to Topaz Lake, NV.
Tonight's stop over is in Fallon, NV. Dinner is at the
Overland Hotel and Saloon.
The Overland serves a Basque menu.
Our group has invited a married couple who live in Fallon, Eddie and Brenda. I had just met them on Monday afternoon at the
Topaz Japanese American WWII Internment Camp Museum in Delta, UT. Brenda was interned at Topaz as a young child.
These first two photos are out of sequence since they were taken after we had eaten.
Nite Lite, Eddie and Brenda
Sherm, Sandy, Skid and LindaThe outside. This building has been a historical land mark since 1999 when it was restored to its original conditions.
My F650GS and Nite Lite's Kawasaki Voyager
Their wall calendar
The menuI forgot to take photos of the soup and salad. The soup was very good but the salad was not.
The French fries were delicious and had some hot stuff that gave them a little bit of a zip
My beef tongue smothered in garlic
Eddie's lamb shoulder chop, which was the lamb of the day
Nite Lite's chicken sandwich
Skid's Small steak
Sherm and Brenda had the 1/2 rack of bbq ribs
Linda and Sandy had the bbq chicken and ribsThere was more than enough very tasty food for all.
The next photo shows what remains of the pot of beans after everyone had eaten. The waitress put the left over beans in a big carry out pot for Eddie and Brenda to take home.
Brenda was given the uneaten ribs because they were very, very good but just too many for everyone to eat.
Enough left over ribs to serve four people
This photo was taken by Sherm after dinner.
The plastic bag with the red C visible holds the container with the left over beans.After dinner we swapped old stories. Eddie and Brenda had lived in Union City, CA before moving to Fallon about 10 years ago. Brenda was living with her parents in Pescadero, CA which is on the Coast between Half Moon Bay and Santa Cruz, CA, when she was shipped to Topaz Relocation Center just west of Delta, UT.
Some photos of the Overland taken by Sherman Acord, copied with his permission:

There were several trophies on the walls. I liked this Stately looking Mule Deer.

Soup, Bread, Salad with creamy garlic dressing, Fresh cut Fries, Beans and Green Beans, Spaghetti, then the entrees came. And the gallon of decaf coffee finished off the meal. We passed on dessert. The couple with the boy are friends of Don (vsp). Ray, Lana and their son Caine. You recognize the rest of them. {clockwise from the bottom left - Jamey, Trouble and Sandy} {Lana, Caine, Ray and me}
Taken by the waitress
Ray has a Softail Deuce! He bought it new, has 20K miles on it, no problems. Was glad to find out that Harley makes a bag mount, I haven't been able to find an aftermarket one. So, learned something. {Sherm had recently bought the exact same model of motorcycle}
