Some trip comments

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.

Oh well! I do have air ride. Hope it keeps the DVD where it belongs.

-----------------------------------------

We did the Rt. 17 Coastal route one time in an RV heading back from
Florida. Picked it up south of SC and followed it north. I forget
where we re-connected to I-95 but it was probably in Virginia.

Not a time saver by any stretch of the imagination. Lights and stops
all along the way. But, it was a refreshing change from I-95 with a
lot of local "stuff" to view.

I didn't even take a camera. On the trip down I stayed at New Green Acres campground, Walterboro,
SC. It was just at 500 miles from home, which is what I figured was a decent day's drive.

http://www.newgreenacres.com/

The campground wasn't anything special, but the sites were all pull-through, and quite level. I just
left the trailer hooked up so I could get an early start.

There was a group of bicyclists staying there for the night - maybe fifteen or so, male and female,
late teens or early twenties. They were in tents, and I commented to one of them that it was going
to be mighty hot in the tents. She told me they were headed to San Diego, by bike. This was their
first night on the road. They were going to take the southern route the whole way across because it
was flatter than heading up north.

More power to 'em!

It's something to consider. We have time to make a stop at either
Charleston or Myrtle Beach.

It was .... shall we say .... Interesting? Not a route I'd take
everyday but it was different. Glad we did it once.
I am still planning a trip down to the Isle of Palms area in South
Carolina to see my son and his family. Mrs.E. flies down, but I don't
do airplanes anymore unless absolutely necessary and even then with
much hesitation. Haven't made the drive south on I-95 for a few
years now and am not sure I am looking forward to it. I've heard
horror stories.

We'd initially planned to stop at Charleston on the way back and catch the fireworks. But, that must
be a popular 4 July destination, 'cause all the campgrounds were full. We started looking about the
middle of June. Too late.
