Great report Jim! Had to chuckle a time or two.

One more thing. I have often advised people to stop at the Florence KOA either on the way down or back if travelling 95 on the east coast. Well, the Florence KOA is no more. We stopped on the way home only to find it is now under new management and known as the Florence RV Park. The change is not for the better. The place was dirty, despite being half empty or more they gave me the crappiest site on the place near the highway next to a guy with a loud voice who talked all night. They seem to want to cater to seasonals. The KOA used to be a common stopover point for people heading to or from Florida, with rigs coming in starting about 5 until late at night. Not any more. I guess the word is out and everybody just drives past now. So if you are looking for a good halfway point, keep going down the road to Point South or the New Green Acres in Walterboro.

Pooh is walled off while they move the big pooh tree.

My dogs have requested that they move the BIG POO TREE here. Oh wait, there was an "H"

Started off with coffee and a carrot cake cookie at the Writer's Stop. Don't tell anybody about this place, though, it is my secret.

Ooh - we found this little secret gem out last year. Shhh.... That is one whopper of a cookie!


Thanks for the great TR!

Love the hat, btw - I spent a couple of years at RPI... but that was in a past life.

I graduated from RPI in, dare I say it, 1979. My son graduated in 2009 - a legacy!

Very nice! I was there '83-'85 - then I high-tailed it to design school in RI.

bigger isn't always better..

I've been saying that for years. How did I miss this thread? Too much beer I guess

Okay, so FWGirl sent me back to the truck with a bunch of bags (which is why she takes me to DTD, I have discovered - I am the fetch and carry boy). I was walking back from the lot passing that store where all the kids play with those interlocking blocks and saw a rather large crowd (maybe 10-15) of guys all standing there, not saying anything, just looking over at that giant green sea serpent made of those same interlocking blocks. So I looked over to see what was going on. At first I didn't notice anything. Just the block thing, and a young woman leaning on the fence looking at it in a green dress. It was a breezy day, and about then the wind kicked up along with the young woman's garment. Apparently she was either camping at the Fort or had raided somebody's clothesline. This brought a loud sigh from the audience along with many smiles. About this time I noticed some angry wives heading over to the group, so I took off. I just couldn't stand around for the carnage that was about to happen.

That evening I was packing up some stuff. Lisa and Bruce stopped by and we chatted and said goodbye. By then I had already thrown something on the grill and ate it, but I didn't have a Kungaloosh until I had packed the truck. Rained that night, closed up the trailer the next day, hooked up and drove home. That's it, kids.

BEEP! BEEP! BEEP!








BEEP! BEEP! BEEP!








BEEP! BEEP! BEEP!

Sorry, but my BS detector is going off.

I love this trip report and all.

But, this tale about the young lady at the interlocking block store seems to be setting off the BS detector.

You obviously have some ability with a camera.

And you don't have any photos of this alleged event to share with your Dis friends?

BEEP! BEEP! BEEP!

Sorry, I'll take the batteries out.

Or, you can post a photo.

Sounds like "wishful thinking" to me...

I agree. I miss the Golden Girls house too.
I asked about it and they told me that today most people don't even know who the Golden Girls were. Ok, so now I feel old!
