This is Part 2 of my exploration of the wonderful Pack Basket Restaurant in Gabriels (Brighton), New York in the heart of the Adirondacks. While they were preparing my sandwich, I walked around getting photos of the Adirondack memorabilia and crafts adorning every surface except the tabletops:
They had an antique coffee grinder, lantern and oaken bucket:
Lots of pottery and leg traps. I have no idea what that wooden thing is under the shelf. Feel free to leave a comment if you can identify it:
Old soda bottles:
More lanterns and what I think were oil cans. That "If You Dare Burger" sign advertises a gargantuan burger for sale which will also bring the reward of a free tee shirt to anyone who can eat it all:
There were plenty of old timey signs on the wall:
And an Adirondack canoe motor:
A beaver pelt and a painted oar. That ice skate, the proprietress told me, was used by her grandmother in the 1932 Lake Placid Olympics:
Lots of old cans: Honey, tea, coffee, cream of tartar, tobacco, salted pecans:
Beneath the stuffed pheasant was an old style egg carton, "Fresh From The Nest:"
But my sandwich was ready and the dogs were waiting out in the car. So I paid for my meal, thanked the staff and made my exit. Their sign, which had recently blown off in the high winds, was leaning against the front of the building:
I noticed that they also had a drive-up window, but at this time of year, everyone wants to come inside. I put my camera away, opened my sandwich and drove away toward home:
