Fun Weekend
I visited Mayberry NC. I saw Otis. I saw lots of cool stuff there. This is only a small sampling.
I am moving to Mayberry someday.

Ok G.
There is alot of red, never really noticed that... i guess they don't call you eyeball for nothin' huh?
*thwap* Just for that you can be Gomer, he notices everything.
Wow, these pictures are great!! I miss Barney Fife!
: (
LMAO, *renaming Eyeball on my links page to Gomer*
Great pictures!!! How far away from you is Mayberry??? I wanna go now!!!
Yea, Barney Fife. Did you hear the hubbub about that statue of him they were going to make???
No, I didn't hear Aye. That's so cool! He is so deserving, I just loved him.
Really nice man in real life too.
Hi Lilly...and Gomer!
Hey Pank, Gomer, Aunt Bea, et al:
Some info for those who may not know:
Mayberry aka Mt. Airy NC, is the "city of granite". Rocks were just popping up out of the ground everywhere! Crazy!
The mountain pic is of Pilot Mountain. (eyeball may be most interested and want to google this for more information). In the show, they called it "Mt. Pilot".
Otis (the local guy pictured), told me that the truck in the pic was actually the one they used in the show.
Me and my Grandpa watched that show every evening as a kid waiting for my mom to come pick me up. I always loved that show. And Gomer Pyle was my favorite character on the show. Shazam Shazam Shazam!
hahaha Leroy. I think my favorite was Ernest T Bass!! Gomer said Hootie Hoo too!
No more Sizzirp for you Lilly... Gomer Pyle ALWAYS said...SHAZAM!
Naw Granny, he said Hootie Hoo when he was doing some kind of bird call. I remember it clear as mud.
Ah, Boones Farm and Gomer Pyle USMC *sniffle*
Those are AMAZING pics!! I love the rock one!!!
ty gonk! haha..
Did you rub the purple Buddha's tummy for luck?
Lilly rocks!!!!
Golllleeeee... it is a bittersweet thing looking at these pics...
I sure had a good time that day.
Thank you all for your comments.
Wow, lotsa comments on here now, guess I should check back now and again. Never did tell the story of the Barney Fife statue, it was something like they wanted to make a Don Knotts statue for his home town, and his estate was cool with that, but then they found out it was going to be as Barney Fife and they wern't so cool with that. Was it going to end up being in Mayberry??? I don't recall, I'm a vast wading pool of information.
The Hooty Hoo was adopted by Mark and Brian years ago, and to this day you'll hear callers greet them with Hooty Hoo.
I had to go back and look at the pictures again, I thought for a moment that Gonk was talking about something else when she made reference to rubbing the purple Buddha's tummy, LMAO!!!
