Thanks for Valerie for suggesting Local 111 as a great restaurant possibility.  I haven’t been there, but it’s right nearby in Philmont, and the menu looks great: Warm chicory salad with bacon, squash and beets, date cake with sherry zabaglione and cranberry caramel, and even fish and chips – yum!  They’re also open for breakfast and their website lists daily specials.

While you’re over in Philmont, a hop and skip will take you to High Falls, managed by the hardworking people at the Columbia Land Conservancy.  Maybe it’s no Bash Bish, but it’s a wonderful place for a hike, maybe to work up an appetite before dinner.
