A sign on the table next to a roll of paper towels said, in part, "Salmon Glaze Net wt. 5 oz (140 gm) Available in Gift Shop."

One of the first things you see upon entry is the Gold Strike Saloon. It sold sodas and beer.

Salmon roasted over an open pit of fire. The wood burning was alder which gave the fish a distinctively good smoked flavor.

The salmon was sandwiched in an iron grill that gave the fish its pattern of X's when fully cooked.

The alder wood burning in the pit glowed red and radiated copious amounts of heat for cooking the salmon.

Free drinks were available in small roofed stands to one side of the seating. Here were the lemonade and ice water stands. Coffee was nearby.

A family of mallard ducks (a mother and five juveniles) wandered the grounds between the tables and entertained the guests.

A man sang and played guitar to entertain the guests. His tip jar was the only tip jar in the place. A sign on the wall behind the singer read:

Our
musicians
Sing
For their supper
Thank You
for your gratuities

Baskets of flowers were hung between the two seating areas. One seating area had a hard roof, the other had soft plastic spread over it.

Each table had a roll of paper towels on it, and an Alaskan Amber beer box filled with napkin wrapped silverware. Between the two (and not visible here) were bottles of condiments.

A backdrop was set up with cutouts for faces. Nobody was using it at the moment but it had five cutouts for four amusing possibilities.

Plastic tents covered the eating areas to protect them from rain (and rarely sun). The eating area was surrounded by a huge forest.

Two bonfires had been built. The kind of fires that would be great for roasting marshmallows. Between the fires was a covered stand inside of which were long pointed sticks and marshmallows. Hence this roasting of marshmallows was a discovery.

Old pieces from a farm or mine were scattered around the ground surrounding the pond to one side of the eating area.

A coffee stand was against a stone pillar near the lemonade and ice water. There was plenty of coffee and a selection of creamers and sweeteners.
