The1JMAC: There's not much here, but if Dismals Canyon is closed,you're looking for a hike, and the water is low you can walk behind the dam and hike down the creek. Great scenery and wonderful for a dog.
The1JMAC: The attached (enclosed in the winter) patio with separate bar and roaring fireplace add a really nice touch to a really cool decor. Pro Tip: The bar has hooks for a lady's purse or an atomic wedgy.
