Not sure if it was made in house or if they got it from a bakery near by. Knowing the type of restaurant, I would assume that they have cakes on standby. We couldn't eat the cake but all those that did said it was delicious and one of the best that they have ever had. :-)Ruthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18136052866820208847noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7171307653508307040.post-90161572595001267252018-01-10T10:05:37.706-05:002018-01-10T10:05:37.706-05:00If everything goes well and we have a good time an...If everything goes well and we have a good time and really enjoy leading a caravan then yes, we will do it again next. Despite that, this company will be leading a caravan down whether we are in the lead or not. I believe the trip in 2019 is full and there is already a waiting list and if they have enough participants the waiting list then they will conduct a second caravan down, providing they find a wagonmaster to lead it and it will leave about a week after the first one.Ruthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18136052866820208847noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7171307653508307040.post-51026692336886904292018-01-10T10:01:17.652-05:002018-01-10T10:01:17.652-05:00Both days have pretty much been normal type of day...Both days have pretty much been normal type of days driving.
