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.


The outside. This building has been a historical land mark since 1999 when it was restored to its original conditions.




I forgot to take photos of the soup and salad. The soup was very good but the salad was not.







There 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.


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.
