The list nobody Instagrams. Where to grocery-shop on a Saturday afternoon. Which gas station's open at 11. Where the pharmacy is at six on a Sunday. The closest urgent care if the kid hits the dock the wrong way.
We list the boring stuff so the vacation works.
A full-service grocery store on East Atlantic Street in South Hill, Virginia — the main provisioning stop for the lake's Virginia side.
A 24-hour emergency room in Roanoke Rapids, roughly thirty minutes from the lake's North Carolina side — the regional hospital.
