Well not a restaurant really, but our friends’ hidden cabin where they spend much of the summer living in the real real world [not the world you’re participating in by reading this] and to which we are always happy to travel over some truly amazing roads [some briefly as challenging as those of the inner Owyhee although less bone-jarring, less long and with views more various].
From Libre to pavement eight miles, onwards to, eventually, graded gravel, graded dirt and – things becoming interesting – rocks only occasionally scraped by some sort of blade; up, down, down to a creek and UP again;
On high the road turns to ways tracked across meadows, with forested areas interspersed until the final pitch…
All leading to lavish libations in a secure undisclosed location, followed as promised by excellent homemade green chile, local tamales, pie and, for some [like me], marvelous and restorative coffee before a look at the sort of artworks [not shown] such isolation can provoke…
Then, of course, down and down again;
Home before storms swept in at sunset…
So it is…

Very remote location, top secret. OK, the art must be classified so I understand the lack of documentation, but the food?……come on, bro’…..I was getting hungry when you mentioned green chiles, tamales and pie!
Too good, too hungry…I blacked out when i saw the chile and only came to when everybody’s plates were clean!
Made some green chili sauce myself last weekend…with real, authentic New Mexican Hatch Chilies and it was delicious…giving the great slow burn that those chilies muster! Going to try and make a veggie Green Chili Stew tonight. Whole Foods is trying to make a connection with Hatch production and get them in their stores. The route to the remote location was very similar to my route to the source of the Salinas River. More remote than you would imagine…but not as remote as this place!
happy trails, Il Mostro…….
That’s the way to live!
can’t get used to those endless skies
