Hit & Run Cafe and Lodging

There’s weird, there’s wacky… and then there’s the Hit and Run Cafe. It’s tucked in the bush off the highway somewhere in the rolling hills between Coldfoot and Fairbanks. If you don’t notice the hand painted ice cream or cold coffee signs nailed to the birch trees, you’ll miss it.

Arvid ordered their last hamburger and Matt and Lorne had roast beef sandwiches. Considering it was hours down the road to the nearest anything, lunch was pretty good.

In the video* below, you’ll see Arvid enjoying his burger while a woman in her 60s bulldozes behind him. You may also notice her tobacco plant that Arvid almost put his bike on (bottom centre of video*). A bigger parking lot was the explanation when asked what she was up to. But we think she was just showing off for Arvid. I guess Grandmas Can too…

I’ll spare you the details on the outhouse. But ask Arvid about it if you want to be grossed out.

    Wow. What an adventure. Our thoughts and prayers are with you. Prayers for safety and speed on the road and apparently the pit stops too.
