Lunch 11 AM, Sept. 3, Lamont Hill, Vassar, Ks.

[schoolmaster]

We are going a bit south this week, to beautiful Lake Pomona, to dine at the Lamont Hill Golf Clubhouse. It has been quite some time since we've been here as I believe Don set up a ride here in August, 2009 with possibly a return trip in 2010. Roger and I were riding back from Leroy a couple of weeks ago and stopped and checked this place out, and I believe you will really enjoy this one. I can personally guarantee that they have the best ice cream around if you have room after lunch.

They have a great salad bar and buffet with a lunch special (one Nancy mentioned was chicken and noodles) for $4.75, and that opens at 11:30. Or you can order off of the regular lunch menu starting at 11:00 AM. They also serve breakfast up until 11 if that appeals to you. I know it will be hard to break the habit of stopping at Green Acres, our normal dining spot in Vassar, but perhaps you could hit that spot for dessert after having lunch at Lamont Hills.

This restaurant is not visible from Hwy 268, but to get there it is just a little ways west of Green Acres, turn north onto Hwy 368 proceed north for a mile or two like you're headed to the state park. It is located on the west side of Hwy 368. If you go too far north, you'll end up riding around in the state park and eventually into the water of Lake Pomona, so if you notice the water starting to get your feet wet, then turn around. It looks like the weather should be pleasant with a high in the mid 80's, so let's plan on meeting for lunch around 11:00 at:

Lamont Hill Golf Club
22975 S. Hwy 368

This morning about 5:15 AM when lightning struck what at first I thought was "at the foot of my bed" and I jumped up to look outside at the pouring rain, my first thought was, "It's a great day to be a ROMEO!" Then as I watched what turned out to be about 3" of rain falling steadily, all I could think of was that overloaded salad and food bar at Lamont Hill Golf and Country Club as they were preparing for 35 to 45 ROMEO's. So about 7:45 I made the call and told them that if we hit 10, that would be a big number.

After what started out to be an ominous weather day for riding, we recovered nicely and had a good group make it out for lunch. You know what, it really was a great day to be a ROMEO.
