Deals Gap!


After spending the night in Murphy, North Carolina, we are off for our final destination, Deals Gap. It has been a long ride from Florida so I decided to make reservations at Fontana Village so that Mike can get the bags off the car and enjoy driving!


Because this is a remote area of the country, I tell Mike that he should stop to buy gas. Neither one of us have seen a pump like this in years! We had just seen a segment on Sunday Morning talking about the owners of stations that couldn't afford an upgrade to a new pump because of the money they cost...pumps go for tens of thousands and these places could never afford the costs. Yes, we bought our gas there and had no problem doing it.






We stayed at Fontana Village Resort which was surrounded by mountains and very nice. We got there around 11 AM and the staff was unbelievably nice, even going as far as checking us in WAY before the 2 PM check in time! Looking forward to going there again in July!

This is the North Carolina side of the Gap and a pit stop for the many bikes that come across it.
