Relative Something

It has been a long time since we visited my favorite place. Last night’s drive up was highlighted by a stop at The Old Log Cabin Restaurant & Bar just outside Forest Lake, a hoppin’ place that we have driven past for decades and never stopped. It always enticed us as a place we would like to stop, but it is located at just the wrong distance between our departure and our destination. Usually, on the way out of town we had just gotten started and didn’t want to stop, or on the way home, we were getting close enough that we just want to get there. Since it always appeared to be busy, we figured it was a worth a visit, but it would likely involve a wait and that was a big problem related to the above ‘wrong distance’ reasons. Last night it was just the right time to finally try and we lucked out finding a spot to eat in the bar so, no waiting! It lived up to all our visions of what we anticipated it might be like.

There is plenty of snow up here, but it appears to be mostly old snow with maybe a small coating to keep it looking white. We’ll get out and investigate after breakfast and of course, I’ll let you know what we find…
