This is my polished blog. I also have an ugly blog acting as my "dead man's switch" where you are the switch.

My next leg was from Statesboro GA to Yemassee SC.  In the morning, I met Cory and Ross as I was leaving.  We talked a bit about my trip.
The ride to Yemassee is 70 miles.  That’s longer that I like.   There were lots of sights. 



After a while, it got boring though.  Only one dog chased me.   The best chase was on Saturday on my ride from Folkston GA to Reidsville GA.  Here’s a better shot of that.
I spent time stopping at this local market.  I talked with the lady for a while about beef jerky.  Another customer came in.   They talked a while about the storm.  He gets down to business and says “I’ll have a bag of ice.”  She says “What did you call me!”  He comes back with “I didn’t say ask for an old bag of ice.”  At this point, I join in with “You two must know each other.”  Great fun.
After more roads and trees, I made it to South Carolina.  The roads changed abruptly as they did going from Florida to Georgia.  As I turned, the road was freshly paved.





My feet became unbearable at 50 miles, so I stopped and changed socks.  The countryside is pretty, but it got boring so I turned on my music.  Some songs have a good beat to pedal to.  I’m picky though.  65 RPM is the best, but I can’t ride at 80 RPM for many songs.  I finally made it to the KOA in Yemassee.  I went to Denny’s for dinner.  I'm fully recovered after a hot shower.

  1. Glad to see you've made it to the low lands of South Carolina although you look pretty serious about it in that last picture. :-)
