All 5 of us forgot towels. D'oh!
Lunch was at Hickory Prime BBQ
you would never believe it was in a gas station. The ghost pepper dark chocolate is a killer too.
Bradley's Farm has a stand by an abandoned gas station that you have to know it's coming. Muscadine and peach slushies- oh yeah-
Slept the rest of the way and come home to a gentle thunder storm.
