[pct-l] Quincy town stop

[David Hough reading PCT-L]

Quincy is the closest real town with a real post office to Bucks Lake and
Belden.    

Yogi says there are lots of restaurants, which is true, but on Sunday night -
there's just Moon's Italian for dinner - everything else is closed.
It opens at 5pm and serves through-hiker sized portions of traditional
Italian dishes.    Sierra Nevada on tap.

4 nights a week the choice is Quintopia brewpub.    Great beers and good food
and a lively family atmosphere.

In the lobby of the Gold Pan Lodge I saw a pamphlet called PCT Hikers Guide
to the Quincy Galaxy which might have taken away some of the guesswork.

One of the problems of Quincy is about half the town is East Quincy, about
three miles away over a hill.    There are restaurants and motels there too.

This is also a railroad town.   The motel had a special kitchen for BNSF
workers.

PGE is active in the area.   I saw a PGE helicopter ferrying employees to
an electric tower up above Belden - hanging on to a cable.
