Red Mountain.  I don't have an historical reference.
Mount Tirzah.  See "bullcitybiker" comment below for an historical reference.

Me and My Shadow visited all four places today.  Twice.

Me and my shadow Rolling down the scenic byway Oh, me and my shadow Not a soul to tell our troubles to And when it's twelve o'clock we climb the stairs Onto Leasburg Grocery's floor Just me, 'cause my shadow 
Left me all alone at the door


-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Hollow Ridge Grocery (Mt. Tirzah) is brewing up some Brunswick Stew this Saturday.
And doing another cookout, likely the second Saturday in November.
And every second or third Saturday after that, until ...

Bonnie, the clerk in Leasburg,
Asked about the "old guy with glasses".
Turned out she meant Ricochet Robert.
Bonnie indicated she kind of misses his visits.
She's working the first and second Saturdays of November.
