Although we have had many writers stay at Fox Manor before, recently we had our first guest who is a blogger. Rick Jacobs calls himself an "artist, a philosopher and a cop". We found him to be a very charming, diverse young man on a mission. He is currently writing two blogs, The Feel of the Wind and 50 Smiths. Rick's plan was to "experience America and the people in it and blog about it everyday". We've enjoyed following his adventures, even with no motorcycle. Feel free to catch up with him at his next stop.
We have passed by the exit for Phil's Dream Pit countless times and always said we have to try this barbecue that we've heard so much about. Today, we locked up the brakes and headed off the Eastern Star Exit on I-26 to one of the best barbecue pork sandwiches we've eaten in a long time (the coleslaw, beans and pasta salad were also great).
