Default Zero at the Diner

Took AnnaRae in Old Henry an hour away up the mountain (6,434 ft) to the Road Island Diner in Oakley for dinner. It is a very historic diner having begun its life in 1939 in Fall River, MA where Al McDermott ran it for 14 years before he sold it and it was moved to Middletown, RI where it operated as Tommy's Deluxe Diner until 2007 when it was moved to the little mountain hamlet of Oakley, UT (pop 1,544) and restored to its former, and now current, glory. More story and pictures here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rplEcKUF9gg



As we parked in the parking lot the outside thermometer read 0°. Before I could get my picture of it the engine heat bumped it to 1°. 63° was inside of Old Henry. We kept our coats on.



Here's a stock photo from the internet of the interior:
