After a day that was over-cast and threatening rain, the weather changed and became picture-perfect. Tom declared it time for a ride; I agreed and on went the boots.
We headed to Petersburg on 356 and then took hwy 56 through Bowman and down that great winding road to Hazelton. We followed a really slow driver that kind of took the edge off the curves, but arrived in Hazelton proper, pulled off the road, and waited for some time to pass for the really slow driver to get down the road, and then we continued for the remainder of the trip. We came to a T in the road and Tom said he knew of a good spot. He turned left, we went up the road a few yards, and ended up at the Hilltop Tavern. We went in, ordered some cold Killian's and an order of chicken livers. They were great! We did some serious people-watching, caught up on news from the week, and then once the livers were gone and the bottles drained, we headed back. The road was ours alone on the way back, and the curves were smooth and very enjoyable. I think the driver has pretty much to do with that...he's been my pick of driver for many moons now.
