Here in Yemassee, SC
We stop for gas every hour. After a little time lost, we are finally back on the road. 4 hours and 45 minutes until we are in Daytona.
Gas Prices on the Rise

Florence, SC
This place looks like the Virginia Beach Oceanfront. It looks like a small resort town with all the local businesses on one side (where Walmart has conveniently placed itself to out-compete the Mom and Pop shops), and all the big chain stores near the Florence Mall. It feels like home and certainly made a nice stopping place for the night.
Just off of I-95, south of Florence, sits Honda Way, home to one of Honda's larger manufacturing plants on the East coast. Here, Honda employees manufacture ATVs and PWCs. This plant seems to provide thousands of jobs to Timmonsville natives and inhabitants of the surrounding cities. More significantly, it reminds me of my favorite Supercross riders that currently ride for American Honda, Trey Canard and Josh Grant! Hope to see those guys kick some butt at Daytona this evening!
We are just over six and a half hours from our destination.

3AM and Our Next Home Calls Us
A warm comfy bed and a few hours of shut-eye before hitting the road again in the morning.

Smooth Riding
My partner and I share a common love for Supercross. This sport lies at the heart of this long drive to Atlanta. We have teamed up so well to get things together and make this happen. I love how he gets us on the road by securing tickets to the stadium, ensuring that the motor home runs and functions, and fights the traffic behind the wheel. He enjoys how I make the trip like home by cleaning and sanitizing the motor home, engendering culinary creations, and bringing the remedies for most ride discomforts.
Most people I travel with argue about the music on the radio or bring their own headphones/media devices. We listen to podcasts that we love together. Where others would be annoyed at the many stops we have to make, we both make light of them. When traffic inconveniences, we find comedy in it all.
We really do complement each other.

Welcome to South Carolina
We just passed the turnoff for the South Carolina Welcome Center and Rest area. There are exactly 4 hours left in the ride to the campsite.
