West Branch
Quick pit stop for a bite to eat and a much needed beer…..its was before noon. Not many places open that check those 2 boxes. Insert Logger’s Depot here https://www.facebook.com/loggers.depot/?_rdr They have pullllllllltabs too. On that note we dropped a fiddy and ripped a 2 hundy back. Thank you Loggers! COOOOOOOOOL bar and food was fantastic. They served breakfast and lunch and before noon beers! Staff was super friendly We had eggs and hash and hand battered deep fried mushrooms. Ranch was homemade (EXTRA POINTS FOR THIS) If we are ever back in West Branch for more than 30 minutes…

Down for a conference and had some of the BEST pizza I’ve ever had IT WAS BOMB Cottage Inn Pizza – extra points for being open until 4AM – it is a college town lol We got breadsticks, wings, pizza, and a calzone …..We were hungry 😛 I am a devoted ranch lover and their ranch is at least 80/100 SO GOOD https://locations.cottageinn.com/cottage-inn-pizza-b48cb7f327dd Also of course I went to a bar….. O’Kelly’s Sports Bar & Grill. Met some folks that were at convention from GR they invited us for a beer. Cool college bar…tons of space….they bought us a shot.…

Hibbing, Minnesota
Hibbing you say? It’s cool just go I think for me the people you meet here make the place. It remind me of home and that I love very much. Mining is the name of the game here and these folks are hard working, have a cool midwestern accent (LIKE WE DO EH), love beer, and eat/sleep/drink hockey. Just like home ❤ This was an impromptu trip and I loved every second of it. I got to explore this time by myself and the weather was beautiful and the sun was out….thank you sweet baby Jesus and vitamin D. Came…

Bout 15 minutes outta town right on the St. Mary’s river is the Cozy Corners. Dining on the river doesn’t get much better than this place. https://cozycornersrestaurant.com/ Stopped in for a quick bite and a few cold draft beers. Atmosphere is always buzzin at this place and their staff is great! We shared some apps – deep fried cheese curds (YES PLEASE) steak bites with mushrooms and onions and queso and flour chips 2 Giant draft Busch Lights in a frozen mug Its worth the drive, preferably on a lazy Sunday in the Yoop.
