    There is nothing like a nice spirited drive across 28 (Hellbender) to shake out the cobwebs with a stop at the Gap Store for an inexpensive yet tasty breakfast.

    The food at the restaurant is several notches above fast food, especially if they have trout sandwiches (usually fresh cuz they're locally caught).... I lunch there upon my arrival, then hit the store. They have great stuff, so be sure to eat and shop at Deal's Gap....also known as the Crossroads of Time. The Tree of Shame is also there...definitely worth a pic or two. Across the street from the motorcycle resort is Tail of the Dragon retail stuff...very cool stuff there too, so don't miss it!
    It's also a nice place to just hang out on a sunny day...lots of good people watching/meeting. You can actually make a day of it....I have in the past, and enjoyed it immensely.

    Dumb question here: but where exactly is Deals Gap (the store)? Is it on 129?

    Myself, my hubby and Clubby are staying at Deal's Gap! I talked with Michelle there at the "Motorcycle Resort" - and she was VERY accomodating and helpful even warning that the Dragon will likely be "closed" I told her we are still coming to drive as many roads there in the area as possible! So I'm glad to hear about the good food there!

    kgdblu had a great idea (I also added it to Bills first post). Maybe we could have a impromtu lunch run each day to Deals Gap. So if your hanging around Fontana and your itchen for some food and a drive, meet up at the General Store at 11:30am, see who else is there and head over to Deals Gap for lunch
