Driving Northwest to Aiken, South Carolina

Eric prepared Chicken

Curry tonight's dinner.

It will cook as we drive.

It was a soggy start.

Eric unhooks service
connections in ankle
deep water.

Eric drove through the

puddles slowly...

We'll keep The Oaks
at Point South on our
list of campgrounds
we'd return to.






I'm not letting a soggy leave taking get me down.  Eric bragged that his LL Bean shoes remain waterproof.  They are at least twelve years old.

Today's drive takes us on

Alternate US Route 17/

US Route 21 North.

Hampton United Methodist
Church in Varnville

This is the first time I've seen

Piggly Wiggly gas pumps.

Shoppers can redeem their

Pig Points for discounts

on gas.

The road is hemmed
in by trees,

Allendale:

City of Character

A great slogan...

I was surprised to see
containers stacked up
along side the road.

Vultures clear away

roadkill.

The Confederate Monument
in Barnwell

We pass a swampy

area.

We are following the
South Carolina
Heritage Corridor.

New construction 

It's late February...

Please put the Christmas
decorations away.

US Route 78 stretches

out before us. 

This is farm country.

Authentic Ladies SC has

adopted this section

of highway. 

As we turn onto US Route 1 

North, Eric reminds me that

Route 1 runs from Fort Kent

Maine to Key West, Florida. 

Eric pulls into Pine

Acres Campground

in Aiken.

 

After we hook up to
services & level,
it's dinner time.

Eric's Chicken Curry

with Couscous is

delicious!

Eric cooked dinner, so I'll do the dishes.
