We hit the road from TT Chesapeake Bay just after 8 am this morning and enjoyed an uneventful drive south on I-95 into South Carolina. Another sunny and quite warm day on the road. Traffic was relatively light which I was expecting for a Sunday. I-95 was in great shape until we hit South Carolina. The first 50 miles or so were the worst wash board road I have ever traveled. Good thing we had everything stowed and properly secured. We managed to find diesel for $2.939/gallon at the Flying J in Dillon, SC. They must have just dropped their price before we arrived because we pulled into the RV pumps and were quickly joined by a line up of RVs.We pulled into the Walmart at Exit 57 in Walterboro, SC around 5 pm. There we already about 10 RVs parked for the night. As I write this entry, we are now up to about 30 RVs and about half of those are from Quebec and Ontario. We have never overnighted at Walmart with this many RVs, maybe 3-4 at the most. Signs prohibit overnight parking for trucks but RVs are permitted.
Supper consisted of fried chicken from Walmart and one of Chris's great tossed salads. I tried to buy a case of beer but apparently liquor sales are not allowed on Sundays in South Carolina. I thought the clerk was pulling my leg at first, but she was dead serious. However, one of our new Quebecois neighbours kindly offered each of us a beer which went down way to easily.
Early to bed tonight and then on to Orlando tomorrow.
