El Centro, CA (USA)

One more day in El Centro...  Before leaving the Vacation Inn, I called Nicky again (0730). Worked all day - the weather was (still) great. It's been an awesome Detachment!  Some of the guys had heard about a steak restaurant, located about 30 miles north of here, and we all decided to check it out after work was done. We didn't leave the hotel until around 2000 and it took around 45 minutes just to locate the town. It ended up being a little place - almost deserted - but there was indeed a restaurant there. It was called "Town Pump." I was impressed by the menu - more choices of steak and the different cuts than I have seen before. Had a great dinner - I think everyone did. Afterwards, it a lot of time to get back to Imperial...
