A road trip to the real Mayberry


Here is a video from today’s road trip into the Blue Ridge Mountains. American readers will be aware of the “Mayberry” angle from the classic American television show with Andy Griffith. Those of you in Europe may not be aware of the cultural complications, which relate to the fact that Andy Griffith the actor was a liberal but that most of those who idolize Griffith, and the television show, are make-America-great-again deplorables.

But never mind all that. It was a nice road trip with some autumnal Blue Ridge Mountain scenery, a wonderful local historian who has had a book of science fiction open every time I’ve been in her store, and scenes from the kitchen of the chef who made my lunch.

  1. Lovely video David. It’s funny that mill looked familiar to me. I dug out some old albums and realised I road tripped past it back when I was 18, almost 20 years ago! Glad to see it’s still in working order 🙂

  2. Thank you so much for coming by and for the really cool clips of our food truck! We hope you enjoyed your meal and we get to see you again sometime.
