Dinner at The Orchard Inn’s very Own Saluda NC Restaurant A Major Treat!

The town of Saluda, NC is famous for what had become known as the "Saluda Grade." Considered a true feat of railroadsmanship to make it up that grade. But today, Saluda and the Orchard Inn is easily accessible by auto. — The town of Saluda, NC is famous for what had become known as the “Saluda Grade.” Considered a true feat of railroadsmanship to make it up that grade.

TruPlug Could Save You and Your Boat Simply By Plugging That Unexpected Hole in the Water!

**Simple, useful in an emergency, for sure!**

APtravelnews-New Product Review-April 11th, Port St. Lucie, FL-Bob and Barb “On The Water Again.”-Yes, during my daily boating adventures when I lived on the water in the Keys, I wish I had one or more of these new TruPlug units. Soft, pliable, but very, very strong, it can be jammed into a hole or crack in your boat to stop the leakage caused by the damage.

Writing this, due to the fact that about every boater at one time or another has run over something that causes a breach in the bottom or side skin of their boat. An impact breach, like getting hit by the bow of another boat, or hitting a piling, can be devastating, but these floating units can save the day by inserting, pushing & twisting it into the breach, or through hull hole!

This item is a soft, cone shaped plug, designed to conform to the irregular and unpredictable shapes of a hull breach or a round hole too! For an emergency, you should have a few in your boat! The unit is a true stop-gap solution for an emergency leak. The item is a tapered 9-high by 5-inch wide at the base life saver, in our opinion! They also have a very neat smaller TruPlug unit suitable as a key chain that also floats. If you lost your hull water plug, this will work, if you need a plug for your bait box drain, you got it! A great temporary plug, anytime its needed! Go: www.truplug.com

**Flexible and will push into any crack or hole!**

P1070021 — **A plug for all reasons and also, never see your boat keys go deep six. I will be using mine soon, lost my boat plug!**

**Great pliable and floatable key chain!! Will save those keys and a trip on your boat if you lose any plug on the boat!**

**One of my favorite vehicles a car/truck! The El Camino!**

**Guys really love their favorite car and Barb enjoyed looking at Ricks display!**

So Comfy, That We Slept In at Sleep Inn & Suites of Port Charlotte!

**Plenty of easy parking, dog friendly, fine breakfast, clean and quiet room, and we found our visit made better by having a great host Inn!**

APtravelnews- (American Press Travel News)-April 10th, Port Charlotte, FL. “Bob and Barb On The Road Again” and “Stopping to Smell the Roses” at Sleep Inn. As Authors, travel writers, freelance outdoors communicators, and specialty product representatives, as well as consumers too, we always strive to be able to overnight nest in quiet, comfortable rooms and surroundings. On this trip to Port Charlotte and environs, we found that “nest” at Sleep Inn & Suites on Kings Highway, just off I-75, Port Charlotte. The beds were comfy, the suite type room had everything to be comfortable. It included easy-use hot shower, good breakfasts, pet-friendly accommodations, a very nice pool, work-out room, and friendly, accommodating staff. There were restaurants in walking distance, and just hop, skip and jump onto I-75 we used to go towards all areas of Punta Gorda, Gasparilla, Placida and some other locations, both inland and waterfront that we wanted to visit. This pet-friendly location is a fine place to roost when visiting Port Charlotte and environs-highly recommended!! www.sleepinnportcharlotte.com Tel: 941-613-6300
