[pct-l] Restaurant between Wrightwood and AD

[CATHARINE FRENETTE]

"How's Your Trail"?    Regarding "Newcomb's Ranch" Back in, I think 05', 
Eagle Scout and I hiked from the I-15 to Hwy 2 at three points then pooped 
out. Heard about Newcomb's Ranch and walked about, can't remember for sure, 
2 miles down Hwy 2 to the restaurant. The guys that lived there and worked 
there were Great! We got there about 3pm and my wife wouldn't get there 
until midnight to pick us up. We had about $20 between us and ate a good 
lunch and dinner and played pool for hours and I had a few beers and cokes 
and when they closed at 10pm one of the guys let us watch a movie on his DVD 
player and gave us change to use the pay phone to call him down to get his 
player back when my wife arrived. These guys were really Good to us but I 
heard that they have changed hands and those guys don't work there any more. 
I hope that they are as good as they were.  Remember "Be Prepared"  Ground
