After a busy and fun several days with our friends in Virginia we left early Friday morning driving south through North Carolina. Although beautiful country we were not real impressed...we loved the greenery but found nothing else to impress us...well, except for a nice outlet mall where we spent some time and I managed not to spend any money...it was tempting though!!

We found a small RV camp off the freeway in South Carolina where we spent the night amongst mosquitoes, thunder and pouring rain. Up early morning to more rain and thunder, we were on the road by 6am. Miles and hours of driving the 'scenic route' led us to our spot for the night - a wonderful KOA on the South Carolina/Georgia border....this spot has to be the most beautiful spot in both the Carolina states. Driving the scenic route took us into small town America - old beat up trailer homes sitting on a lot next to beautiful small mansions and next to them would be ranches with many horses. Most of the many 'towns' we went through had a gas station and nothing more. A few towns were big enough to have a grocery store and maybe a small eating establishment. Church after church every 5 miles or so...more churches than homes!

The Savannah River ran from the beginning to end of this road and we drove parallel to it (maybe 75-100 miles), enjoying the view when it would come into our sight....the last few miles was a recreational area with many jet skiers, boaters and people fishing. Finally finding a KOA was the icing on our day! Tired and exhausted we were happy to get the last cabin available....we were also happy to hear that about 5 miles from us is a BIG town...with 2 grocery stores, a Walmart and even a Sam's Club! Hoping the town is big enough for Howard to find a movie theater with something good to watch tomorrow.
