We had a similiar experience. We were entering Augusta on a 103 degree day. The last 6 miles or so into town from the west had very little shade, and we were wearing out. We made it to the river witch, but there weren't really open. The bartender invited us in and we had gatorade while we cooled off and he told us the history of the place. Very nice guy! Interesting place too!
