Unfortunately that truck just sits. It's been there a few years at least. I am thinking it's time to try to pry it away. It's too good for yard art. I'll find him an old tractor or something. That place sits along US40, the National Road that was conceived and begun during George Washington's time. I'd say about mid-1800s on that place. It sits alone where the road takes a great dip and seeping turn like a race track. I've come around there at 80-90 mph on my bike. You feel your belly drop at the bottom, serious downforce. I can only imagine what it was like in the old pioneer wagons at that speed :lol:

This truck and restaurant are just east of there on what the called "The Long Stretch", named for being the longest straight stretch of road between Cumberland, MD and Wheeling, WVA. This is up on the Appalachian Plateau.

Across the road is a guy who sells, among other things, old campers. This one caught my eye on my way up to my mom's. Then I had to come back the next day to that very spot to rescue my brother who dropped his rear driveshaft. So I got to talk to the guy and look it over

Its made from the same dough as a donut shop cinnamon roll, but as you see in the pic it's just a big cake usually with apple chunks in it, aka apple fritter.....yum yum!

How about kinklings? Do other parts of the country have those? In Frederick, MD "The Donut Shop", which has a few shops around town, puts a banner across their signs that says "The Kinkling Shop". They are a German sweet treat made and eaten to bring in Lent

So who is going to tell what this thing you Californians call a fritter is? We have various foods with the name fritter attached, but nothing that looks like that

The only Fritter I ever had was like a cornbread muffin type of thing with maple syrup.and they were really good.

They came with dinner at a place called El Encanto on Hwy 39 at the base of Azusa Canyon in Azusa Ca. Some of you may remember it since it had been there forever. I used to take dates there because it had a great view.(smooth operator :cool:)

But they tore it down. I don't know why. It was a nice place.

I got this beauty for scrap not all that long ago. Owner said his wife wrecked it when it was about 10 years old and it sat behind a barn ever since. Pristine barn find.
