Dustin and Devin from Bella Vista, AR on 9/26/2009 11:34:57 AM:
Day 2 of our ride took us from Rocheport to Portland. We learned the hard way that many businesses close on Mon and Tue along the trail. We took the spur into Jefferson and arrived at the Airport Cafe at 2:30 having eaten only a granola bar since an early breakfast. The cafe closes at 2:00. The doors were locked and the staff was taking the last of the trash out the back door. I asked the staff if I could purchase ANYTHING from the fridge. They returned with a huge box of fried chicken (still hot and fresh), cole slaw, and ice water. It was quite possible the best chicken we had ever eaten. I tried 3 times to pay them - they would not take our money. The staff at the Airport Cafe made this a highpoint of our trip - we will be back.
