Merry Horse Gates

One day we crossed Great North Mountain into West Virginia to look at the fall foliage. Near Wardensville I saw a sign for the Quarter Mile Diner and decided to take a look for future reference.

The entrance was startling.


It wasn't dinner time so we did not venture inside. The diner itself looked like an ordinary country restaurant, but the parking lot held a number of trucks that I imagined might be carnival transport trucks. Was this the winter home of a carnival? I don't know but that would explain why they had merry-go-round horses.
