I took this photo about three weeks ago at my mom’s house in Danbury, a little town in Stokes County famous for being the home of Hanging Rock State Park, and limbergrit, a rare and pretty incredible type of bendable rock only found one place in the nation — the Sauratown Mountain Range.
True.
But with the passing of Thanksgiving today and the start of the Christmas season with Black Friday shopping hours away, I thought it appropriate to take one final glimpse of what has been about the best autumn of recent vintage that I can recall.
Enjoy.

Love your columns and hate to disagree with you (although I sometimes do so silently) but I was in the habit of using the “only mountain range in the country that begins and ends within the borders of one county” statement myself until someone more observant than I pointed out that Pilot Mountain is part of the Sauratown Mountain range and it is in Surry County, not Stokes.
You’re absolutely correct and I’ll delete that reference. Goes back to something I’ve been told all my life and simply accepted as fact. Tons of people in Stokes County believe this to be true. My apologies.
