Day 24

We arrived safely in Roanoke, VA today on our detour trip while on the way home haha. Mom has always watched this TV show called Salvage Dawgs. It was just an hour off our path home so we decided to venture this way to stop by.
 
 
 
The show is all about a family group that recovers woodwork and structural pieces from buildings that will be torn down. They build works of art from them. They also resell stuff they find for other people who are looking. The prices varied from reasonable to very expensive. It was a lot of fun to look at everything. Mom wanted at least 1 of everything and I had to keep reminding her we had luggage in our vehicle and no room haha. We really enjoyed looking around though.

Now we are resting in our hotel that was near the store. It was very much worth the detour to get here. Tomorrow we will be back on our route home with just one more night on the way.

Very cool. I am a fan of American Pickers, but know their stuff is priced way too high... but I do like the idea of going around and finding great things! I shall watch out for this show now!
