Pilot Knob is located in western North Carolina, just south of Mt. Airy.  It was also the namesake for “Mount Pilot,” the fictional town in the Andy Griffith Show back in the 1960’s. Before that, though, the Cherokee had come up with a folktale about what was inside Pilot Knob.  Today we tell you that tale.
