There is nothing more mind numbing then driving 8 hrs at a time. Thank god for my ipod touch...greatest device ever made! I came across a great quote about the interstate system. "Thanks to the interstate Highway System, it is now possible to travel from coast to coast without seeing anything". I did notice that VA has much better views along the highway. NC and SC not so much. But overall I would say Charleston it is a great area! The history in that area is amazing! I included a pic of the houses along the battery. The historic district is awesome! Lots of parks, people jogging, playing kickball, dog parks, etc.
The fact that it is right on the ocean makes it a paradise to me. I saw plenty of public boat launches so I could put the jet ski in with no problems. The parks there are really nice also, which is where I camped out for 3 nights and it was great. James island county park gets 5 stars from me! The amount of money they put into their parks is impressive.
The people there are very nice, it was kind of shocking to me at first. An older lady let me cut in front of her at the grocery store so I could buy my diet mountain dew. A couple on a motorcycle asked me about where I was from by seeing my license plate. And the grocery store clerk gave me all the things I had to check out in the area. One of which is the angel oak, which is the pic of the tree, craziest tree i have ever seen! Notice the person at the lower left in the red shirt so you can get an idea of how big it is. Then I met some college kids on a adventure getaway that introduced themselves at the campsite I was staying at, they where from Mississippi University, they thought I was there age...they were only 10 yrs off...hahaha.
The bridge pic I included is one of the coolest looking bridges I have ever seen. It is huge and they have a path on it so you can jog or walk the whole bridge. I would say it is about 2-3 miles long over the bay.
So I get one whole day to relax then head out Mexico! I will talk to you guys soon!
