We have a new 'addition' to our family! The Badberg's now have 2 cruisers! His and Hers as it were. Lucky me, mine has the new car scent, it's all shiny and beautiful! Now don't misunderstand me. Tim's is beautiful too! His has matured with age and without botox or any other enhancements of that nature. Now if we could get past the who gets to drive it arguments! Really, we actually rock paper, scissored to see who drove the new one! Big kids! But, you can't really disagree after one look at her (yes it is a her)! Can you really blame us?
We got her dirty the second day. We rode up provo canyon, had lunch. No, wait we didn't have lunch! SIDETRACK. That is the name of the restaurant we went to in Heber. STAY AWAY from this restaurant! We waited 45 minutes for a burger that never came.
The place looked inviting enough. A coffee house/ internet cafe type restaurant like you would see in Sugarhouse. There was an outdoor grill, a few people on the patio and we thought it looked promising. The appeal was all a sham as we later found out! We sat slurping the dregs of our drinks with our straws and watching the uneaten wings (chicken parts swimming is sauce) congeal into something un-recognizeable and waiting for a meal that was never coming. Gracie was starving and we wanted to get back on the road so Tim went to find out what the delay was.
When Tim asked our server about the delay, the waitress said "whoops, I'm was sorry, the order was misplaced and they haven't even started it. But, it will be right out." That was when Tim said to cancel it, the service was a joke and we were going someplace else. The woman looked at him incredulously and said, "why are you leaving? We can get it right out to you." Tim said "No, we have been waiting nearly an hour already. We are leaving." Our server still couldn't believe that we were going to leave. Then she handed him the check for the drinks and the wings." They actually wanted to us to pay for the drinks and the disgusting wings we ordered (we didn't eat the wings, they were nasty and we told her that) for an appetizer, while waiting 45 minutes for a meal that never showed up. She had never even refilled the drinks. So, I want to warn anyone visiting Heber, Utah, stay away from the Sidetrack Restaurant. Especially if you are hungry!
As for the rest of the day, it was beautiful and fun. We took a mountain pass that went from Heber up and over to Cascade Springs. What a remarkable place. I had never been there before and sorry that I hadn't. The three of us walked along the trails and on the boardwalks through the trees and over the springs. We saw beautiful plants and fish. It was peaceful and serene.
After Cascade Springs we continued up towards Sundance and the Alpine Loop. We took a few off road trails. Nothing too sketchy. We didn't want to scare Grace or get the cruiser too dirty. The scenery was beautiful and we all had a great day! Then it was off to home to get ready for school!
