M.A.D.M.E.N. Odometer-Where we went in August

Ever have a hankering for BBQ?  Well, our MiNis did!  That’s why our dinner this month on August 14th was at Bubb’s Grub way up on North Oracle Road. Good thing MiNis like to motor! Because it was a little out of the way, our turnout was lower than normal but those who joined us enjoyed their dinner and the restaurant’s western decor.

Our weekend overnighter on August 23rd was to Silver City, New Mexico. We motored out on Saturday morning and landed in Silver City for the night.  After we dropped our things off at the motels, we gathered for dinner at Billy’s Wild West BBQ & Steakhouse.  Again, with the BBQ, yummy! The next day, some of our members took in the car show and drooled all over the examples of fancy wheels.  Don’t worry, we wiped the drool off before any of the owners saw it.  Other members went sightseeing and visited museums, local shops, and the “Big Ditch” a.k.a Main Street.  The main street in Silver City was washed out so many times by massive floods that they actually left it as a Big Ditch, made a park out of it, and quit trying to rebuild main street.

Our last Saturday breakfast was at Laverna’s on the south side of town.  We had a huge turnout for this breakfast and packed into the back room to experience some of the biggest, flippin’ flapjacks that people have ever seen! Both the service and food lived up to the MiNis expectations and thanks to Herb Ross for getting that arranged for us.
