As of right now, from Mt. Airy to Nags Head is an 8 hour trip, plus or minus a little depending on how many rest stops you make along the way. Back in the 60s before interstates, the trip from Raleigh was about 5 hours, and at the time Mt. Airy was about 3 1/2 to 4 hours away from Raleigh, so you were looking at close to 9 hours one way. George Spence lives there and said it took them 8 hours to make the trip this year. So, if Aunt Bee took a ride to Nags Head to eat, she would have had to stop and eat along the way and eat on the way back! No wonder she was a little tired! But, there is a restaurant we like to eat at down there called The Dunes, where the plates look like the old military chow tray in size, and they fill them up! Prices reasonable as well! Just made our hotel reservations for next year....and have our Col. Tim's tickets for next year as well. Does anyone have an update on how Andy is doing? Emmett, if you are on, what have you heard lately? welford TheCameraNut _______________________________________________ WBMUTBB mailing list [email protected] http://mail.wbmutbb.com/mailman/listinfo/wbmutbb_wbmutbb.com http://www.mayberry.com/tagsrwc/wbmutbb/
