Day Trip: King's Gap
One of the exciting things about running our business is that we get to travel fairly regularly to shoot various projects. Often times we'll go to nearby towns for engagement sessions, so that we can shoot the couples in places that are special to them.
But because we're foodies, small town advocates, and just generally curious, we often make a day of it and explore local restaurants, businesses, and the like.
A Saturday or two ago, we traveled to King's Gap State Park to shoot an engagement session for our clients Lacey and Michael, who will be getting married later this year.
On the top of the park's mountain sits a beautiful mansion with a great view of the area.
After a great session, we had worked up an appetite. Upon the recommendation of a friend, we decided to make a stop at King's Gap General Store, a great little place for hunters and locals to stop for anything from basic groceries, to sandwiches, to cigarettes.
Boy, were we in for a treat. Turns out, it's the longest running general store in Cumberland County, and it shows no sign of stopping.
The store had much of its old world charm still in tact and was truly ingrained in the community.
And the food was great! We had to taste the local favorite sandwich: the Blockbuster. What's that you say? You've never heard of it? We hadn't either. Good thing Lacey and Michael filled us in. It's a hot ham and cheese sandwich, with onions, lettuce and tomato on a sesame seed bun.
We could certainly see how THAT would get us ready for a good day of hunting.
After a quick jaunt downstairs to browse their antiques, it was back to York for us.
All in a day's work!
