Under Brown Mountain Lights the Beast of Blandenboro wanders this magical land where lighthouses shine on kingdoms only accessible by ferries. A Lost Colony of legends and pirates revealed in historical sites and majestic mountains with views that make us weep. The home of handmade sculptures and scrumptious cuisine. North Carolina leaves this long-time writer and artist breathless with endless surprises, including the unlikely warmth a winter walk on the beach can bring.
The Yadkin Valley Scenic Byway is a scenic drive to a small town in North Carolina. The length we want to drive is up to us. Sit back for the next two hours, if we take the whole thing, and enjoy pastoral farmland, picturesque vineyards, and rugged mountain terrain. The byway begins at the intersection of N.C. Route 89 and Round Peak Church Road or N.C. State Route 1397, about 0.3 miles from the I-77 overpass at Exit 100. Located in the Western part of North Carolina, this route guides through some charming towns, including Dobson where we’ll stop and spend the night.
This lovely route drives through Surry and Yadkin counties for
76.5 miles, but we can start and stop wherever we like.
The three-story, rectangular Classical Revival-style brick building was built in 1916. How important might we feel working in such a monumental structure?
It's time for dinner, and the best place to eat is The Depot at Cody Creek.
