Disney World is still there. The food at the German place in Epcot is great, but the price has gone
up to $39.50 each.

Universal Studios sucks.

I-95 in South Carolina sucks. Bounced the DVD player right out of the cabinet.

Georgia did a nice job on I-95.

North Carolina golf can be very muggy in July.

Shooting at ProShots with brother, his and my wives, was fun.

I'm getting much better at backing the 5th wheel.

Truck got 11.8 mpg pulling the trailer (about 10,500 lbs)

Just can't wait to download all the nice stuff on rec.boats.

Cant wait to see the full detailed report, complete with photos. ;-)
Where did you camp, and what did you think of it?

Is SC 95 really that bad? Is there a good alternate route to bypass 95?
I don't see one on the map.


I have made that trip many times, before and after I-95. The
interstate is about it. You can do 301 or the 15/17 coastal route but
both are slow with a town every few miles.
I suppose you could take 85 out of Richmond, to Atlanta and 75 down to
the Fla Turnpike to Mouseville but that is a lot longer.



I try to avoid I-95 between Fairfax County and Richmond, Virginia. We
take 301 south from Waldorf and then pick up the Richmond bypass and get
on I-95 south of Richmond. Route 301 is a pretty decent drive. I-95
through North Carolina isn't bad. We gas up and hit the pit stops before
we get into South Carolina so, hopefully, we don't have to spend a
dollar in that state. It also seems that I-95 in South Carolina is not
well-maintained.
