Mt. Airy NC

I told Sandra we would meet them for breakfast at 6:30 or 7 but she didn’t hear the or and thought I said 6:37. LOL she doesn’t know me very well if she thinks I am that precise. They had been waiting when I entered the little kitchen area at 5 of 7. By 8 AM we were back on the Blue Ridge heading south in the cool air and bright sunshine. All is well as I round one curve to find 2 of the cutest deer standing by the road watching as I pull to a stop not knowing if they are going to bolt across the road, up the hill or just stand there. They decided to go up the hill. There were at least a half dozen deer today crossing my path or watching me glide through their homeland. Then a hen turkey with a handful of chicks crossing the road at the fastest pace the young chicks’ legs would carry them called for another stop. A must see was Mabry Mills. You will find a true Appalachian Mountain home, farm and saw mill with folks on hand to answer questions. Reaching the Days Inn at Fancy Gap around noon we unhooked the trailers and headed the 14 miles to Mt Airy, where we found most things closed. We did find a great little diner open (they closed at 4 PM) the Bluebird Diner where we had a great lunch/dinner. Walked around a bit and then went to the Andy Griffith Museum which was very interesting. Just about 160 miles today.
