*giggle*
So I came across this little town of Chester by accident. I’m cruising down the highway, jamming to some music, and oh crap, my gas light comes on! I have been in the area before because I used to go to one of the State Parks to hike with an old friend years ago, and I knew there wasn’t a lot around. So the next sign I saw said the words “Gas” and “Chester Mercantile” so I exited! I almost freaked out because it looked like there was NOTHING around. Then I caught a bit of sign that had been almost completely covered by vines that said the store was up ahead. *PHEW!* And then I almost missed it! I had to back up and wait because there were only 2 pumps. 1 Diesel, 1 Regular and there was a guy pumping gas on the regular one. I went inside, got a snack and a drink and then went to pay for my gas. These were old skool gas pumps and I haven’t used one of them in forever. No debit card transactions there. And these pumps were strange…if you pumped $5.00 worth, in reality, you pumped $10.00 worth. I pumped my gas and then pulled over and got out to take some photos. There were 2 other buildings..1 a Post Office that was just too adorable, and this other building which contained an Antique store and a Bed and Breakfast. I couldn’t NOT take some photos. So, here they are. Enjoy!
I LOVE to travel, and I love finding little gems like this by accident.
