Due to a mis-programmed alarm clock, we found ourselves on the road WAY too early last Sunday morning. Thus we were not able to fulfill our dream of having biscuits and gravy at the Madonna Inn. The Coffee Shop was closed unless you happened to be a CHP officer (you can see them in the back of the counter area), so we set off in search of the famous men's room.
This was our first visit to the Madonna Inn. After all these years of driving past--en route to points north or south--we show up to an empty roadside attraction. (Except for the pre-dawn Chippie crowd, that is.) No food or java for non law-enforcement types, but it was cool to wander around and have the run of the place for a few minutes.
Note: Instead of biscuits and gravy, breakfast ended up being a banana nut muffin and some bad 7/11 coffee. Oh well, that's life on the road for ya (...and we wouldn't have it any other way!)
