Beech Mountain, NC, between Winston-Salem and Johnson City or Beech Mountain Mountain, NC, near Asheville? We use to go there in the summers when I was a kid. We'd pile into the station wagon and make a day trip to Banner Elk, Tweetsie Railroad, Grandfather Mountain, The Land of Oz or wherever those crooked roads led. My dad would gear that old station wagon down coming off those mountains and you could smell the brakes burning. Oh, the memories.

That was funny, @Pepperhead.
