  HIGHLY RECOMMENDED for local goods, snacks, and lunch! Of all places, a gas station & market in the mountains where an employee met us at the door with so much kindred and another employer stopped stocking the shelves to help us fix the coffee bean grinding machine that we struggled with to grind up a bag of locally made " maple flavored coffee." Rather than the typical "gas station" or "convenience store," this one had antique items set up as if a museum to the past precedents of what they now sell, and is packed with locally made cheeses, beers, maple syrup, candy, granola, honey, preserves, meats, crafts, cookies, and coffee. There is a nice deli, good coffee, all manner of everything else needed to support campers, hikers, bikers, and sightseers. They answered our questions to include about local cross-country skiing and offered tips. They told us of a local artisan whose work was for sale there, who was a sweet old man and loved by the community. Much of what was for sale was from citizens in the state. After hearing this, I made two more laps around the store. Our original purpose for stopping there and driving a few miles off course, was to obtain some good spring water for one of our party. What a great decision. We were there for a while. :)
