Now THIS is convenience!

21 May, 2012
After a full day of typing on a paper, I decided I needed to clear my mind a little by taking a bike ride on the Creeper Trail. I thought I'd ride to Damascus, VA and back to get some great exercise.
Creeper Trail Cool Down
Along the way, somewhere around mile-marker 9 or 10, some ingenious capitalist strung an extension cord from his mobile home to power a vending machine an arm's reach from the trail. Zoom in to see the hand-scrawled notes offering the traveler reasons to 'buy now'! I'm positive this man's slogan was accurate: 'coldest drinks on the trail'--literally, on the trail.

Alas, I had no quarters!
