The October “Where Is This” photo by Maxine Gordon features an old barn in western North Carolina along US Highway 64 between Murphy and Andrews, just outside of Hayesville near Sweetwater Gap. This metal sign-covered barn in Cherokee County, adds reader Judith Roe, belongs to her mom, who still lives nearby. “My mom and dad ran Hilltop Grocery for many years. Some of the signs came from different oil companies they worked with. My brothers, husband and nephews put the signs up.” The barn is one of many found along Highway 64, recorded as the longest numbered route in NC, running 604 miles from the Tennessee state line to the Outer Banks. The winning entry chosen at random from more than 400 correct submissions came from Dennis Carlson of Canton, a member of Haywood EMC.
