Day 18 - Columbia, SC

We started heading toward home today.  It was a beautiful day indeed!  The morning was clear.  It clouded over as we passed Savannah around noon, then cleared in the afternoon.  We had a delightful breeze all day (note: not fun for towing).

Leaving Brunswick, GA

This site is cheerful when the sun's out

Even the access roads feel like wilderness

The 239 mile route: I-95 north, passing Savannah and Charleston, to I-26.  I-26W to Columbia, SC.

Along the Way

SC greets us soon after passing Savannah

We got a strange feeling as we drove toward Columbia on I-26.  It was the first time since leaving the Natchez Trace that we've had to pull much of an incline, other than driving over bridge spans.  The roads and highways have been flat through Louisiana, Florida and Georgia.

We're camped at The Barnyard RV Park.  There's virtually no curb appeal for the park.  It's located behind The Barnyard Flea Market ... but, that's where "blah" ends.  The park and facilities are top notch.  Sites are level and grass covered.  All have trees.

Dinner tonight was a real change of pace.  We've been traveling in areas where seafood is the big attraction.  We visited what looked like a plain, little Mexican restaurant in a nearby strip mall.  To our delight, Marisqueria 7 Mares (a Mexican and seafood restaurant) was about as far from Taco Bell as you can get.  The mariachis were our first clue.  The predominantly Hispanic clientele suggested those who know, liked it.  The Mexican dishes were delicious and provided a wonderful change from seafood.
