Magnus to Mass., with Jamestown Jaunt, Day 4

Saturday, August 10

Went for breakfast at the Flying Biscuit Café. 5 stars!  I had a (large) slice of avocado toast with pineapple salsa, two fried eggs, and a dish of fruit. Ed’s omelet was good and he liked the coffee. They had a lot of vegetarian options we could try if we ever came back.

 

 

Then we took a break from “vacation” to worry about the water heater a while. Ed tested various options; no luck. So we drove up to the dam overlook and took a short walk on the trail up there. Nothing special, just a nice walking trail in the woods 

In the afternoon I tried to take Molly for a jog but my toe/foot was killing me with shoes on. Plus we had to jog by the side of the road and there were a lot of cars going to and fro, not to mention dogs off leash. We managed maybe 30 minutes, up to the scenic overlook and then down to the dam parking lot. And then I had to  go pee and just sit down for a few minutes before walking back. It sucks to be crippled. Again!

I was so happy to have my pulled leg muscle healed—I’m not even feeling it in the slightest now. But then I had to go and do this. Stupid stupid.

 

 

A turbine?  down by the dam

Oops -- food mostly gone beofre I took the picture
 

After a cold shower it was off to Hacienda Ayala’s Mexican Grill. Very good—a veggie burrito that had squash in it along with the usual stuff. Not too much cheese.Decent beans (those did have too much cheese) and some really good salsa. Only the guac wasn’t up to par.  Ed’s combo dinner was large and filling and tasty, although the chile relleno wasn’t breaded and fried like it should have been. I’m not even sure it was skinned.

Melton Hill Dam has been officially pronounced a very nice campground, even though it was super crowded on the weekend. What would you expect?
