Written Directions

Head East from Sanford on Highway 42.. fill up with Ethanol Free Gas at Tri-River (Mikes) Bait store. Head East on the curvy farm and forested road. Watch speed signs for sudden 35mph postings and enjoy the scenery. Recommened stop in Fuquay-Varina downtown at Aviator Brewing Tap House for the BlackMamba Braised Pastrami Reuben . Pick your direction from there. Open Sunday night!

Scenery

The terrain shifts quickly from picturesque farm settings, flowing fields to heavy forest as you roll though several small communities and towns of Americana.

Drive Enjoyment

Perfectly paved roads with generous curves and panoramic views.

Tourism Opportunities

Ethanol free gas to start your trip /Tri-River Bait store. BlackMamba Braised Pastrami Reuben Smokehouse restaurant in downtown Fuquay Varina.

Well maintained blacktop, gentle curves and wonderful scenery. Gas station (Tri-River Bait and Tackle) sells ethanol free gas.. Aviator Grill in Fuquay Varina makes for an excellent stop.. as you continue East.
