More rain, a good day though

Woody drove to Hancock, MD to do some shooting at the Appalachian Archery Shop, could not practice outdoors due to the weather. While there he received some coaching from the PA indoor and outdoor Archery champion, how lucky can a man be! Derek (the owner) invited Woody to join him for lunch he ordered Pizza delivered to the shop, during lunch Derek become busy with some customers. Woody was just finishing his lunch when another customer came over and asked if he could help him out, Woody told him that he was a customer, didn’t work there but seeing that Derek was busy they started chatting. Woody started showing the new customer where the bows were and other items he required. In the end, the fellow bought a bow with all the accessories and Derek gave Woody an arrow case as a thank you. Woody arrived home excited and a very happy man!

After Dave and Randi arrived home, we all went to the Stone Age Café in Flintsone, MD for dinner. The restaurant is not fancy, very small, a popular place with local patrons who enjoy the good food, the same restaurant we went to when Richard visited. I think the name was aptly chosen given the name of the town and the only thing missing is some statues or pictures of Fred, Wilma, and maybe other characters from the cartoon. Friday night was particularly busy; the special was Steamed Shrimp, at least a pound of large shrimp, served with coleslaw and fries, Woody and Dave filled up on shrimp, Randi and I choose other menu items. Dave, Randi, and I ordered pie to take home with us, we were all to full to consume desert at that point but the pie looked to good, we just could not leave without it. Woody declined on the pie, can you believe that, Mr. Sweet tooth saying no to pie, miracles do happen.

This little restaurant is one of those places that would not be found if just travelling through the area; Flintstone is a small unincorporated town in Allegany County, Maryland. Flintstone lies between the southern foot of Tussey Mountain and a water gap in the Warrior Mountain formed by Flintstone Creek, north of the North Branch Potomac River and south of the Mason-Dixon Line. The little town has a couple of stores, the restaurant, a church and like many small communities here is tucked among the hills along the side of a small country road. Spending time with good friends while we travel is awesome and one benefit of having friends in areas we visit is their knowledge of where to go and what to see.
