We left Chuck and Ruby's with a promise of returning next time in the area and wound our way thru excellent mountain highways to Galax, VA the home of our friends, Mike and MaryAnn. Easy to understand why our friends have purchased rv sites at this resort nestled in the mountains. Cabins are finished with outside kitchens and quaint verandas. We toured nearby Mt Airy and enjoyed touring the town of Mayberry where Andy Griffith is from and the tv show was based on. We went into Galax to listen to a bluegrass and try our luck at flatfooting. John enjoyed golfing with the group from Deer Creek. We went to Bear Creek Motorcoach Resort where the same developer is building rv sites on lots from 1 acre to 3 acres in the mountains. This resort will be beautiful where some of the views look out onto the Appalachian mountains. As Barry lives on an rv, he understands what appeals to us full timers. We had a great time with Mike and MaryAnn and look forward to returning when we pass thru that area again in the Fall. Would have purchased a lot without hesitation if not for our families being in Canada. Right now our draw is to the north for the summer months.
