Never a dull moment!
Seems like all the streets in this town (Wytheville) meet at one point or at least 10 roads in the vicinity of our hotel. Everything started when we tried to find the Super 8 or Sleep Inn; we took the exit indicated by the GPS but didn’t see any signs for either. I did see a Motel 6 but getting to it was a real trick with turn on this road, climb this hill and then turn on a second street. Only to find they didn’t have any refrigerators. We decided to try for the Super 8 but after turning on two or three roads, making a U turn in the middle of the road twice and the GPS saying you have arrived and still not seeing any hotel we headed for the Red Carpet Inn which was within eyesight. Then dinner was to Shoney’s right across the street. Well that was a real trick! Don started leading but ended up going way down the street and by the time we had turned around Bernie was leading. After crossing one street we were at the bottom of the hill and lost sight of the restaurant. Bernie turned left on what we all thought was the right road when suddenly both hands flew up in the air and we realized he was heading down the ramp for the Interstate! No turning back now so we all rode about 10 miles or more to the next exit; made a right and another right onto the service road (where we wanted to be in the first place) and back another 10 miles to Shoney’s. Now we could see our hotel but the big question was – could we get to it?
