As we approached the North Carolina / Virginia border, we passed through the area made popular in the old TV series “The Andy Griffith Show.” Although there is no Mayberry, we did pass Mount Pilot and Mount Airy, which are mentioned quite often in the series. The main highway into Mount Airy is named after the star of the show Andy Griffith.
We stopped at JR’s do some shopping. If this store was in Canada it would be closed for false advertising. It was hilarious to see some their “regular” prices that we posted against their supposed sale price. I would guess that their “regular” prices are inflated by 200% or more. Marg did say she got a bargain on some bedding and towels.
The geography is varied. It was flat which was followed by gentle rolling hills that enclosed many large ranches and farms. It then became mountainous as we moved into the Blue Ridge Mountains and the Appalachian Mountains. It became flatter again as we moved across the Ohio river into the Ohio valley, where we are staying tonight.
We did notice as we came north that some of the trees are beginning to change colour. I guess we have to expect that as the summer is truly over.
Tomorrow we should arrive at home in the late evening. Our final blog will be posted sometime later this week.
