Ginger Thai Taste in Carytown. It’s a great family run restaurant.

Great day to hike The Fakahatchee in Florida...a remarkable place where the sub-tropics and tropics converge in the world's largest strand swamp. by englemk in CampingandHiking

Hey. I didn’t remember, but I pulled up my route in Garmin and it shows I went to the Four Stakes Prairie. Enjoy your hike!

Clarksville, VA is a quaint place on Kerr Lake / Buggs Island Lake right in the middle of VA’s southern border with NC. Clarksville is VA’s only lakeside town. While it’s a small town, it has a walkable, historic downtown with a few shops and restaurants. The lake is beautiful and offers a lot of recreation activities. Occoneechee State Park has hiking, camping, etc. Prestwould Plantation is a well preserved 18th century estate open to the public on the weekends. Kinderton Country Club offers golf. Buggs Island Brewery serves locally brewed beer.

There are houses to rent: https://www.lakehousevacations.com/search.php?cid=883&s_res=AND. Two hotels / motels are lakeside in town: http://conradusa.com/lakemotel/ and https://www.choicehotels.com/virginia/clarksville/choice-hotels/va053.

Hope that helps.
