I miss the OLD Hideaway. In the later 60s and early 70s when I would be in the airport in Seattleon my way to Wendover I would call and order a steak. Beef was scarce there during that time.That was when Vesco and others would be running on private time. As many as 5 trips per year. When I would walk in the lady owner would greet me, "Hi Seattle, it will go on the grill now."They stayed open very late because the railroaders would stop in after work. In the early 60's we stayed at the Patio. Six to ten people per room. That required sleeping bags and only one bed. Our meat order was done before we left Portland and the butcher at Smith's Marketwould keep the meat in his freezer. We would go in each evening and pick up what we needed and thetwo grills on the concrete slab would be smokin. Wendover has changed SO MUCH.To insure the room for the following year required a deposit when we left. The only problem was thechange of ownership during the year. When we called to verify our room the new management would informus that they didn't have any reservations. The prior owner left with the deposits but when we sent a new deposit they always had a room for us..............sorta like the NO REFUND policy of now days.FREUD
Are there any other Mex places that are sorta safe?
as SSS says, the Taco and icecream shop besides Motel6, ,
The best meal I think I had in a restaurant last year was the taco stand on the Utah side. Freud turned me on to that one. I hope they're still open.
. . . the best part was sitting around the pool at night and watching the bats fly down to catch whatever it was that could live in that swamp.
