The only route to get to Ohio from Pinehurst, NC is north on I-77. But first we have to pass one of the great landmarks of North Carolina...Pilot Mountain. Yes, the same area where Andy, Opie, and Aunt Bea lived for many years in Mayberry, near Mount Airy. On a clear day Pilot Mountain can be seen from many vantage points west.
Pilot Mountain is a "metamorphic quartzite monadnock"..... WHAT? I thought it as just a small mountain.
"A monadnock is an isolated rock hill, knob, ridge, or small mountain that rises abruptly from a gently sloping or virtually level surrounding plain." (Wikipedia)
