According to Bryson, why did he go out of his way to visit Bryson City, North Carolina, as noted in the nonfiction book, The Lost Continent: Travels in Small-town America?

According to Bryson, he drove ten miles out of the way to reach this town simply because his last name is Bryson. There he finds a small motel with an old-fashioned neon sign that Bryson says that would be the motel for his perfect town.
