MAYBERRY CAMPGROUND, Mt AIRY, NC.  Yesterday, Monday, we ventured onto Main Street once again, just to be sure we satiate our tourist cravings.  

We ventured over to the Chamber of Commerce to get a city street map of Mt Airy, then walked to the other end of Main Street for a look at their war memorial.  It was interesting in that it commemorates ALL wars in which members of Surry County have fought over the years, beginning with the American Revolution and continuing through the Viet Nam War.  It was impressively done, especially for so small a county.

The sun was so bright (and hot) that focusing in on the wording was difficult.  One closeup attempt below gives you some idea.  Click on photo to enlarge.

Nearby was an example of how nicely kept the grounds are around here.  See below a row of white crape myrtles in bloom.

Betty was especially impressed by the trunks of the crape myrtles.  She took the following photo to share.

It was so hot that, on our way back to where we had parked the car on Main Street, we stopped in at the local Whit's Frozen Custard outlet.  Big mistake.  Annihilated our diet.  What they call one scoop of custard is much too large.  Our compliments to their generosity none the less.

Tomorrow we join the Eagles, friends from St Augustine who have relocated to this area, for a World Famous Pork Chop Sandwich at Snappy Lunch next to Floyd's Barbershop.  We enjoyed eating there so much last year that we wanted to be joined by our friends for another round of fun.

After that we should have gotten our fix on Main Street and will look beyond to some water sports, perhaps kayaking a river.  Stay tuned.
