Day 4 - Monday Afternoon 9/18

We eventually came to another waterfall/rapids that we stop at and got a few more pictures.


This one is a trickle out the mountain across the road from the river.


No, I didn't really have to go, it just made a funny picture :)


As we where getting ready to leave someones misfourtune became our great find. We looked down and found these still in their wrappers. I just looked through the photos from our first vacation and saw no mention of this story, so I'll 'splain why the Honey Bun made us laugh.

One of the nights, it was getting kinda late & already after dark when we decided to stop for the night. We pulled into a motel to stop for the night, and it had a gas station as the main office for the Motel. Both where closed when we got there, but there was a sign on the window that said to call a number if we needed to talk to someone. We thought great, we will call the nubmer and get a room, but there was a problem. The pay phone that the sign said to call from was in the locked entrance way for the gas staion so we had to make the call. Pat had a cell phone, but we where so far out in the boonies that there was no signal.

As we stood outside and tried to decide what to do, a truck pulled up and only cracked the window to ask if we needed help. We said, "Yes, we wanted to rent a room." The lady was still a little leary of us, but finall opened up & rented us a room. As we where paying, she said they have had vandalism & other problems, so they locked to door to the pay phone. We thought that was nice. Tell people to call, but lock the door so they can't. As we where paying, she said in a very excited voice that they have coffee and Honey Buns in the morning. We thought great, we will have something to eat in the morning :)

In the morning we came down to get some honey buns and drinks. In the morning we could see more what the area was like. The motel was a fishermans place. It had overlooks to overlook the river that it was on. There where docks for them as well. So we headed down to get our honey buns, but when we got there, it was honey buns (like the one above) in the wrapper & coffee. There was a large room & cafiteria being built in the back, but as of then, it was just gas station food. That was a little disappointing as we where expecting fresh honey buns & coffee, but it did give us a new joke. Every time we see honey buns like this we say in an excited voice that they have honey buns LOL

So if you ever hear us say, "They have honey buns, you will know what we are talking about :)"

After our Honey Bun laugh, we got back in the car and headed for the waterfall that we had been heading to all day.

Unfortunately today was mowing day and we had to pass them a couple of times. The where taking a break as we where at the falls. They left before us, and since we had to deal with them along our trip, we got a picture.

After enjoying the falls & several photos, we decided it was time to go eat. Dan had been watching a series on the Food Channel called Feasting on Asphault. It was a series made with 4 guys traveling on motorcycles & the camera crew in a truck. They took all small roads from the East Coast to the West Coast & looked for all the small places to eat along the way. One of their stopps is close to the area we are in. So we looked it up and headed for it!


The building you can see to the far right is the smokehouse.

It was getting close to the end of the day, so we started to head back. Along the way I thought I needed to get some clear packing tape to put on the windows of my Miata to cover the glass. I thought it would be good to put it over the shattered glass to keep little slivers from coming out and landing on us. So we stopped at the Scaly Mountain General store & picked up a roll


After some good ribs

When we returned the car we where going wash it. Only problem was, just before we got back it started to rain quite a bit. Because of that we didn't get to wash it. We where also going to fill it up for them, but the station that was along the way was closed. Because of that, we put $30 towards their room for them when they checked out.
