We’re in no rush to depart so we wandered over to breakfast after an hour or so. We both ordered eggs with sage potato pancakes. Sharon had hers with buffalo sausage and toast with cinnamon butter. Peter went with elk sausage and tortillas. As good as the dinners at HBG are, their breakfasts are equally satisfying. Our waitress at breakfast was also a Boulder native and her mother was back in the kitchen making our breakfast. HBG sure seems to be a really good thing for the tiny town of Boulder.

While waiting for breakfast, Peter was checking out the interesting artwork and struck a conversation with a lady doing the same. It turns out she and her husband are from Pittsburgh and were in SLC for a wedding. They’d come a couple of days early to check out a little of southern Utah. They’d come down through Torrey, checked out Capitol Reef and spent the night at Boulder Mountain Lodge. We convinced them to continue down Hwy 12 and check out Bryce Canyon before returning to SLC. They we pretty impressed with what they’d seen so far and were eager for more.

We made a last visit to the hot tub before showering and making our exit at about 10:45am. Before we left, Peter wrote a nice note to Jen and Blake to accompany one of his pictograph paintings. Jen was there and really loved the piece and had “just the place for it” on her office wall. It is nice to think of your art occupying places where you have enjoyed such happy times.
