July 5 – July 9 Elizabethtown, North Carolina
Jones Lake State Park
We almost had the place to ourselves! Considering it was in the 90-degree range, I can understand why.
Whew – we need to get used to this heat and humidity!

The cute town of Elizabethtown was just minutes away. We poked around the town several times – in and out of the cute little shops. We had lunch at…………. Melvins’
Well, it IS one of the top 100 places to eat while in North Carolina! They’ve been in business since 1938. Burgers, Hot Dogs, chips and drinks…. and the line was out the door!! They’ve got it down to a science…. we were sitting down with our burgers/drinks within 10 minutes.
