We drove the 22 miles or so to the town of Martinsville to run errands and just do some light shopping. We passed through town of Bassett and Martha realized it's the Bassett name associated with a furniture company that's on par with the likes of Lazyboy.
After lunch in town, we drove back to camp with a slight detour to view the Philpott Dam which was built to control flooding for the area. Apparently, a big flood in 1947 was a big motivator.
The dam has a small but nice visitor center.
There's a couple of overlooks near the visitor center for not very close views of the dam itself.
