After riding 30 miles today we were getting ready to stop for breakfast. It was 9:00 A.M. and we came to the town of Mokane. First we went into the grocery store where the woman told us that breakfast was served at the Mokane Bar and Grill next door. They opened at 9:00 A.M. so we were right on time. I stuck my head in the door and asked if they served breakfast and the owner Kerry said come on in. Mike asked if they could stand a couple of bikers. Kerry said he could stand us if we could stand him, so it was a deal. There were a few regulars already there, but they could have been there from the night before for all I know. We ordered a couple of omelets and coffee. A barmaid arrived for work a few minutes after we got there and said to Kerry; "It looks like you had a pretty good night last night, by the number of cars that were left." I guess the locals got a snoot full and walked on home. Another old timer came in and was telling the barmaid about his accident with injuries after his ATV flipped on top of him when he tried to pull a tractor out or the mud. He went on the say that while he was at home recuperating his wife told him to get a life and join a bridge club. He looked to me like a bib overall guy and not a Bridge Club kind of guy. Then he says that in the club you start by jumping off low bridges, and when you get good enough then you move up the the higher bridges. We all took the bait hook line and sinker. Shortly after the food arrived. Mike and I both remarked that these were the best omelets we have ever eaten. We finished our meal, loaded our bikes and hit the trail. Once again friendly people and great food. A great combination.
