As we crossed Washington on the 15th, heading for Spokane, about lunch time we stopped at this little hamburger joint in the tiny town of Wilbur. This is Billy Burgers and has been in operation since 1955 and hasn't changed much since.


One of the reasons we stopped besides being lunch time was because of the huge field next door where we could park the Flying Scotsman and wander in to look at the menu and take it back to the bus to eat. Here's Jo in front of one of three cases full of salt and pepper shakers ... huge collection.



And I took a few pictures of the place from the 1950's ... same sign ... just added more seating out front of the original building. You can actually see the field beyond the building where we could park.



This was one of the best mushroom and Swiss burgers we have ever had ... lots of veggies and the sauce was super and bun fresh and warm ... fries not so great but didn't care.


And we came to rest that night at the Famcamp on Fairchild AFB near Spokane. Really good park with a big lot ... nice to have a gated community with armed guards at the gate eh.



Did a BX and commissary run and got outfitted for the next few days in the Glacier Park area.
