I am on my way home from the International Radar Conference in Williamsburg, VA, and I will have plenty of pictures to post later (Appomattox Court House, Jamestown, etc.), but I had to tell y’all that I am blogging from a hotel room in Mount Airy, NC, home of Andy Griffith and the city they based Mayberry on in “The Andy Griffith Show.” It’s basically on the way if you use I-40 (I had to take a detour up US 52 through Pilot Mountain, known on the show as “Mt. Pilot). I’m going to try to get a picture of Wally’s Filling Station, Floyd’s Barber Shop, etc. before I leave.
