jc mickelson's.

when you drive to southern utah, you pass the two-exit town of nephi. 

you also pass 321862 billboards for a restaurant called jc mickelson's.

it doesn't look so much like the kind of dive that is at all special... like, nothing guy fieri would stop for... but the standard small town crappy restaurant.

but there are so many billboards!

so what are two spontaneous sunburned girls to do in the middle of a snowy drive?

stop in and see what it's all about, of course.

you guys, it was so random.

brooke helped the cause with a senior portrait pose in the front entry garden of eden scene.... but stand alone.... it was so wild.

i think they gathered every twig, branch, and broken limb from the gutter pans of juab county to glue to the walls of jc mickelson's.

and a train.  don't forget the train.

{fun fact: it takes three minute to cycle through the restaurant}

the food was awful.  and the thing was - we weren't hungry... but ordering food was kind of a necessity in pursuit of the restaurant experience we were after.

but we wanted an experience...
