42 miles from ATCF. You can drive it about an hour. No, it isn’t “local” per se, however, it is a great day trip, especially if you want to see parts of Skyline Drive. I am including it just because I can. Take the trip and let me know if it was worth the drive. Thanks!

Perfect lunch spot or bring a sandwich back “home” to the back porch or carport seating. Not fancy…but oh how tasty! Delicious sandwiches and the red skin potato salad is delicious! Tell them we sent you, and we likely will be lunching at the table next to you!
