Took my kids hiking to a local landmark yesterday , Pilot Mt. State Park. Located about 20 miles North of Winston-Salem NC , there is a trail around the knob with panoramic views . Pilot Mt.

It really is a lovely area.

But, I once ran into a weirdo creepy man there...never been so scared in my life. This fella did not have good intentions...

Beautiful area, I was born in Mount Airy aka Mayberry. I still have family down there and I visit once or twice a year. If I didn't live in Southwest VA, that area of NC would be next choice.

Another 20 miles and you'd be at my home in King.

ah HAH! I have identified the creepy man that made my gut instinct tell me to RUN!
(gut instinct..and the fact he pulled his car right up beside me and stared while licking his lips...)

Love the town of Cana (before cross NC line). Me and elp6n ate at an awesome place, the Hungry Farmer Buffet, and stopped at a few markets loading up on strawberry jam and sweets. The folks there were just as country as grits n' gravy.

You live in King now? Thats a nice area but I hate the highway you get bounced all over the place. [img]/LDPforum/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img] My family lives in Welcome.

Been there many times.

Can't wait to go back.

When I was little my dad and I went to Cana every day to buy lottery tickets. He worked four days a week and he kept me every Friday instead of sending me to day care. Good times, I often wish I'd never left.
