OK, Our age is showing!

If you remember watching the Andy Griffith TV show, you know what I mean. (Our kids say Who?) After leaving Maryland, we headed towards Mount Airy, NC for a couple of days. Mount Airy is the home of Andy Griffith and the inspiration for Mayberry, the town featured in the Andy Griffith show. We stayed at the Mayberry campground www.mayberrycampground.com. Downtown it's a blast from the past as they have preserved the downtown as it was in the 60's.


We ate here for lunch. Snappy Lunch is mentioned by Andy in the TV show.


Every kind of candy is available here.


60's police cars in town.

There is an Andy Griffith museum in town that has memorabilia from the show there. While probably best known for the TV show, Andy Griffith also had a recording career and a movie career. There is also an exhibit for Eng and Chang Bunker, famous Siamese twins from Thailand who lived in Mount Airy. 

We headed to the Freightliner Service Center at Gaffney, SC next. A few minor problems were checked out. Next up: Tiffin Service center in Red Bay, AL for warranty work. It will be our home for the next 3, 4? weeks.
