Eric & I Drive Northeast to Lexington, South Carolina

Eric & I leave Stone Mountain 
Park to start our drive northeast
Lexington, South Carolina.

Eric takes his time on winding

secondary roads.

I like Tire Shack's
roadside sculpture.

Sometimes we have to drive

south, along Georgia State

Route 124 before driving

east.

Interstate 20 East shares this 

section of highway with US 

Route 278 & Georgia State

Route 12 East.

Traffic slows at it shifts to the

left lane to drive around a

police car & fire trucks.

 I got a quick peek as we drove past...  The remains of a burnt out car wait to be towed away.

High clouds make today's
drive a pretty one.

Trees are budding &

starting to leaf out.

The Rockdale Water Resources
Water Tower is part of the
Rockdale County's water
system.

Just 105 miles to Augusta.

Ambulances & two firetrucks
responded to what I assume is
an accident on a westbound
lane.

We stay on Interstate 20

East & continue our

drive toward Columbia.

The Welcome to South
Carolina sign







Interstate 20 turns northeast toward Columbia at the state line.

The North Augusta

Water Tower

The "This is Big" Subway

sign is well placed, near

the water tower.

Eric & I fondly remember
South Carolina's inexpensive
gas prices.

Lawn mowing equipment is

parked west of Exit 44.

I see a crane in the distance.

It's road construction season.

The Joint Municipal Water

& Sewer Commission's

Water Tower in Lexington

We turn onto South Lake Drive in Lexington.

Eric asks me to get a shot of

Maurice's Piggie Park BBQ.

We keep a list of BBQ restaurants as we travel across the country.  Fortunately, Maurice's Piggie Park BBQ has multiple locations.  Eric and I will sample their ribs, brisket and pork the next time we are in the area.

Eric pulls into the Walmart

parking lot, where we are

staying the night.

We have a subscription to OverNightRVParking.com.  For $24.95 per year, Eric and I have access to businesses locations throughout the United States and Canada that allow RVers to park overnight. Many do not charge a fee.  As recommended, I called ahead and received permission to spend the night along the outer edge of the parking lot.
