The next morning was Sunday, so I went to the Elkhorn City Baptist Church. The teaching was right on the money, in my opinion. The people there were quite friendly. One guy even gave me a belt buckle!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Afterwards, I sent to the Wagon Wheel Restaurant — a popular name for restaurants across the country, probably because of the abundance of old, discarded wagon wheels available for decoration. When I finished the waitress told me that Bill Brickey (my Sunday school teacher) had already paid my check. He had already left, so I couldn’t even thank him.<\/p>\nEverything in town shut down on Sunday, even the convenience store. The laundromat was closed, so I couldn’t do laundry, either.<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Even though it was Sunday, I decided to ride a short distance, since it was just a few miles to Breaks Interstate Park. Besides, I hadn’t camped in a while. Upon arrival, I debated whether I should get a campsite immediately, and spend time cooking and cleaning up, or eat at the restaurant, and risk setting up my campsite in the dark.<\/p>\nIt was probably less than 2 miles to the park.<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Breaks Interstate Park spanned the Kentucky – Virginia border. My campsite was on the Kentucky side.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

I decided that the path of maximum laziness was to eat at the lodge, which is what I did. There turned out to be plenty of time for finding a nice campsite and setting up my tent.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
