Covered Wagon Cuisine

Saturday evening "the gang" got together for an evening of good food, fascinating conversation (isn't that true, Keri?), and hang gliding "war stories" at the Prairie Schooner steak house in Ogden. http://www.prairieschoonerrestaurant.com/home.htm It was definitely the happenin' place on a Saturday night, but thankfully Cody had made reservations. The Schooner is a western-themed restaurant, complete with a wandering guitar-strummin' cowboy crooner,

campfire dioramas with stuffed coyotes, bobcats,

and rattlesnakes, surrounded by covered wagon tables with dimmer-switched lanterns and a star-covered sky/ceiling for ambiance.

The food (steaks, seafood, bread, soup, salad, potatoes) and service were great, and they didn't even throw us out when we got a bit loud and raucous! We spent some time praising our spouses for their impeccable hang-driving skills. We eventually closed down the place getting re-aquainted, reviewing the past year's whacks, wangs, and memorable XC flights, landing in "hostile" territory, planning this years hang gliding road trips, and hammering out the details of the "Cody Cup". - Is it Spring Yet?!!
