Sutton Side Trip

My traveling companion lit up like a Christmas tree when she saw the tall Shoney's Restaurant highway sign.  Nostalgia attack.  So we took the next exit.  Drove to the right.  No Shoney's.  We turned around and drove to the left.  Still no Shoney's.  The road entered the quaint town of Sutton, West Virginia.

Following a creek, it lead us through the historic downtown section.

The road narrowed, and narrowed, becoming an ancient brown brick road.  (Not quite OZ.)  Said road was only wide enough for cars parked on both sides and one to ride down the middle.  We took turns with on-coming traffic.  It was SO bumpy with pits and frost heaves (I presume)- we were both needing to get to a rest stop sooner than later.  Of course laughing didn't help the situation any...

Looks Fairly Level.  Wasn't!!!

Drive No Further!!!

Interesting Road Name?

A gravel road leading up a steep hill to a secluded cemetery beckoned me to explore, until I remembered how plentiful ticks can be and how unpleasant discovering and removing them always is.  Been there, done that.  Nice gate!
