Popped up to about 6500 this morning just to check a few things and warm the oil. As I rolled over and started back down slowly I realized "hey, I could be over to Carthage, NC by the time I get down and it is almost lunchtime".
There's a great BBQ joint right on the little airport (5nc3). Unlike some of the hundred dollar hamburgers that is just a place to fly to this one is really good. It is usually slammed with locals as well as a hand full of all sorts of airplanes even on a weekday lunchtime. Saw a Grumman, a Citabria, A Seabee, Cherokee, and RV in less than an hour while I was there today.
It's located near Fayeteville, Raleigh, etc. and I highly recommend it to anyone in the Carolinas, Virginia who is looking for a good lunch outing.
Of coarse when I came back out the battery spun the engine over briskly about half a dozen times (shame on me for taking that many strokes) and prompt died. Nice local gave me a jump. I knew better when I bought that Gill. Was just trying to save a few pounds over the Concorde. Now the decision, Concorde or Odyssey.
Real good BBQ
