In reality, the food on spring run was decent, service was ok, only 4 people at our table were delayed
just screw ups, happens, considering we had 95 people not that bad and when the food came
it was good. They had a menu and were willing to expand for people wth diet issues.
Most people believe that restaurants want us, some do, some don't
fall run suppers are the biggest challenge. another story.
Reality is in small towns we are limited, considering people can back out, passenger doesn't come
or someone tags along last minute its a challenge. Small restaurants typically don't want to piss off locals,
as they come many times a year, even with a large group not there every week or so.
Anyone overly concerned with lunch, would be best to plan a picnic style setup and bring with.
When we travel, we always have a few things in car, snacks, water etc. one never knows.
Problem is always going to exist and sometimes food will be great, sometimes not so much.
Reality is, none of us will starve to death and we will make it to supper
Here is the biggest reality of all, regardless of planning, we can't control all aspects of what we do,
roads, restaurants, weather, breakdowns, etc, etc, etc.
People need to come with the cars, people and run as the focus and food, hotels and other
things that come up as life, it happens.
