I was in Manteo this year in June, and my Waterlily friend took this picture. I remember a dear old friend, Tommy Tillett, talking about the sign that read "Manteo to Murphy 563 miles."  There was also one in Murphy that read "Murphy to Manteo 563 miles."  Well, the sign has changed a bit, but you get the drift.  

 

Next time you are on 64 coming back from Chattanooga, or the Ocoee:  after you enter North Carolina, look for the sign.  Manteo 563.  I don't know why this tickles me, but it does.

 

HAPPY FALL Y'ALL!!!
