The only problem is to figure out which way the wind is blowing
so as to be upwind of the menhaden plant.

when I was there by car two years ago the plant seemed to be abandoned.

We were there in August and we went past it last week and it is
definitely operating. There used to be about 14 plants there, but
there is only one left, so some of what you see WILL be abandoned.
There are 14 boats operating out of the Omega Protein plant across
from Reedville in Tibitha near Fleeton which is across the creek from
Reedville (less than a mile by car)

you can drive to someplace to have
breakfast

when I drove there, the only place to get something to eat was at the gas
station, or the tablecloth restaurant that closed at 8:00 at night. We were
able to buy candy bars from a box in the lobby of the motel we stayed in.

There are two regular restaurants in Reedville. The Crazy Crab
restaurant is open mid -May to mid-December, Tuesday to Sunday 11:30
am to 9:00 pm, closed Monday.

And Tommy's (used to be Elijahs) They serve dinner from 5:30 Wednesday
through Sunday, closed Monday and Tuesday.

So admittedly, there's no place to eat on Monday.

There's also the Cockrell's Creek Seafood Deli which is open Monday
through Saturday 10:00 am to 5:00 pm Sundays 11:00 to 3:00 (eat in or
take out) and Chitterchats Gossip Parlor which has ice cream.

There are two bed and breakfasts in town that serve breakfast to their
guests.

But what I meant was that you could drive to another town in a CAR.

For instance Fairport (on the west side of the creek) has a marina
with an onsite restaurant. It's about two miles by car and shorter by
boat. You could even do it on a bicycle. The restaurant features
soft crab - crabcakes, hamburgers and chicken sandwiches. Hours of
Operation: Wednesday to Friday 9 Am-10 Pm and Saturday to Tuesday 9
Am-5 Pm

And there is ROSIE LEE'S: Casual family dining. Fresh seafoods, meats,
homemade soups, daily specials, salad bar, prime rib. Open 7 days B,
L, D). Route 360, Burgess which is only about 5 miles from Reedville

like DeSmet (which I've never heard of).

Laura Ingalls Wilder once lived there. The town has two trees, one of which
they built a park around.

The only reference to De Smet that I can find in relation to Laura
Ingalls Wilder is in South Dakota. I can find no De Smet in Virginia.
I can believe that De Smet SD might have only 2 trees, but I think it
is a pretty far piece to go for breakfast from Reedville.
