Smith Mountain Lake Dam and Lunch at Mayberry

Our second stop for the day was a trip to the Smith Mountain Lake Dam and then lunch at the Mayberry Diner. Reaching the dam was a great ride over more back mountain roads; roads with no center or edge lines; no shoulders and lots of turns. I know I keep saying this but every night we all think we have spent the day riding the best roads only to find more the next day. The dam was impressive and the Mayberry Diner was a step back in time. They also have a drive-in theater. There doesn't seem to be much for people to do in this area other than travel for 50 miles or more to the larger cities so I'll bet the drive-in is pretty popular on the weekends.
