What a perfect day. Clear and bright, not too hot (relatively). All the planets aligned just so to give Sweet Daddio the day off, and a certain 16 yr old was out of money and happy to babysit. About 8 this morning SD and I climbed into Little Martha, put the top down and took Highway 301 from Statesboro Georgia to Orangeburg, South Carolina. It was quite a trip.

First, we saw Paradise

We stopped at the oldest continuously operating welcome center in the country. No joke. It opened in 1962 and has been open since.
Groovy architecture, eh..

SD’s into bridges. This is a cool old swing bridge over the Savannah River. It looked like all it needed was a little grease to be back in service.

We Stopped& Shopped at the This and That

I love the way you guys travel…we do the same thing, love to find unique and funny things about the towns we pass through. We don’t really care for the “touristy” stuff!! Have a great time!
