2 RV's, 1 RV to Greer SC, 1 RV to Myrtle Beach SC

... spending the night at Greenville SC

Breakfast - Yogurt and juice. Because that is all I wanted.

Light snow on the RV's when we pull out this AM.

1st stop is in Richmond at the Pilot for fuel. I can't help myself. I have to top it off so I am going to likely be leave extra fuel for the dealer.

Coming through the hills this AM it was sunny and the trees on the tops of the distant hills had snow on them. Pretty but no where to stop and take a picture of them.

2nd stop is the welcome center for TN near Jellio.

3rd stop is in Newport for food. There isn't a truck stop close so we look at what there is and decide on Arby's. I try a new dip sandwich they have. Good, but too much food. It's 40 degrees outside and we are still eating inside ?

When we are done, BB decides she will need more fuel so she wants to do it while we are stopped. There is a station to our right that will make things easier than taking a left across traffic with no stop lights. Nope. It was easier to get to, but it was closed. So we stopped at one of the others that were between us and the freeway.

The mapping software had us taking non-interstate roads from here because of a major accident. But by the time we left the gas station the backup was no longer showing on my computer but was still showing on BB's. We assumed the accident was close to being cleared so we stayed on the freeway.

Ashville. Always a backup. There should be two lanes going from I-40 to I-26. They are rebuilding I-26 but so far no sign that they will redo the interchange.

Today I am able to get over because someone coming up an on ramp wants to get behind me. BB doesn't get the same break and has to work her way into the lane somewhere down the line. We do not see each other for the next half hour.

4th stop is the rest area near Inman. It was only 130 miles from where we ate to the hotel but with road construction and backups we decided to take the extra stop. We are not in a rush today.

We park next to two other RV's and got talking to them right away. They are dropping about three hours down the road, I do not remember the town. But they live only a few miles from the rest area. I didn't ask them why they did not just spend the night at home ??

From here BB made a reservation. Usually we stay at a Quality Inn before the drop. But BB has never been a fan of that location so this time we talked about it and decide on one 3 miles past the drop.

5th and final stop is in Greensville at the Comfort Suites. Big parking lot but the closest food is across the highway and there are not cross walks at the light. The food looked better on the other side of the freeway so we will drive.

After an hour or so we head over to Schlotzsky's. As we were turning off the freeway earlier I knew we had stopped for food at this exit but couldn't remember where. Once I saw this online I knew where. We get to Schlotzsky's, yes last time the drive thru line was out onto the street and we were taking a left into the parking lot. No issue today getting into the lot.

Sign on the door said "We closed at 3 PM today because of staffing issues." :(

A few cars came and left while we sat there deciding where to eat. Found a couple of other places that were just closed on Sunday's. Finally we decide Five Guys. It is about two buildings away and is not our normal truckstop fast food.

We think we finally have a plan for tomorrow. After we pickup the rental car, I will drive BB back to the hotel and she will head out to her drop. She still has four hours driving to get to her drop so it will be 1-2 PM if she leaves then. Who knows what time if she waits for me and there is a line.

I looked at the map and her drop is about one block from the Myrtle Beach State Park. We will likely go there tomorrow. It is supposed to be a high of 51 degrees in Myrtle Beach tomorrow. The coldest day of the next 10 :( But it should help keep the crowds down.
