The Beacon still serves up "A-Plentay!!" as J.C. says...he's the blind guy and was featured on Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives...he wasn't there on my last visit, but far as I know he's still around...if you walk outta there hungry, it's YOUR fault!!...

heck you come to Mebane too that would be close enough to Durham, in Durham you would be half way between Hedge and myself. but while you're here stop in at Denton for the Old Threshers Reunion at the Farm park and see Blue Runner at the corn sells tent.

truth be known, did not take a camera!!! i figured with 10-12 nieces & nephews, aunts & uncles & grandparents, somebody would take some pics. they said they would email them to us. i am the son-in-law who married the only daughter, so i am very low on the totem pole. as far as the local being friendly part, they were mostly taking my money when we were exchanging pleasantries. did meet a cherokee game warden who was all business until i produced the right piece of paper, then he got friendly. when he found out i had 10 lbs of fresh jumbo gulf shrimp he offered to go up to the hatchery and get me a trophy rainbow trout and trade. for the record, a $3.00 tube rental at deep creek is the most bang for a buck money ever spent. i freaked out at the winding ,narrow roads. i would never buy a used truck up there, i figure the tranny & brakes gotta be shot.
