February 20, 2003Ole's Swedish Hotcakes---------------------
It's been in the 30s the past two days. Still, that didn't keep the twins from running Laser Luge sleds down the hill leading to our beach on Au Train Lake. The sunny sky and warmer temperatures have local wildlife on the move. Today, we saw a beautiful adult bald eagle (twice!) near the dumpster on Perry Road, a trio of wild turkeys crossing Forest Lake Road, and hungry deer eating some cabbage near our cottage. New Slide Show! U.P. 200 Sled Dog Championship (15 Pictures) -------------------- There are many reasons to visit the Mendocino coast: rocky cliffs that tumble to a wind-whipped sea; antique shops, New Age pottery barns and bookstores (sometimes all wrapped up in one); and Ole's Swedish hotcakes. These hot cakes are credited to the inn's original owner, a Finn named Ole Hervilla (I know, why would a Finn serve Swedish hot cakes?). And they've been on the menu at the restaurant since the day the inn opened. from a February 19, 2003 Los Angeles Times article by Russ Parsons.
