Siamese Twins and Mayberry RFD

The campground we are in was part of the property owned by Eng and Chang Bunker. The Siamese Twins.  Campground is owned by a descendent of theirs.  Will not relate it here but encourage you to Google them and read a thorough history of their lives.  They were pretty amazing in all that they did.

The town of Mount Airy, NC is a few miles north of the campground.  Andy Griffith grew up here and the fictional town of Mayberry RFD is based on many spots in Mount Airy.

Saw this in a sock outlet (never seen that before – nothing but socks) Any guesses as to what it is? Email or text your answer. Smile
