3/31/14: Last days of March, leaving South
Carolina and welcome to North
Carolina!
Happy 27th birthday to Keith.
 |
| Nice estate |
 |
| Oil trucks |
 |
| Now we found some blossoming trees! |
 |
| Globe at the Spartanburg Chamber of Commerce |
 |
| Have you seen a pink elephant? |
You are welcomed at their church, but the cemetery looks pretty old.
 |
| Wow, if North Dakota could see those prices! |
 |
| South Carolina roads could use some work. |
 |
| Boiled or roasted peanuts sign ahead |
 |
| Look at that red soil. |
The
peach water tower, mentioned in the Netflix movie "House of Cards", season 1, at Gaffney, SC.
It's 135 feet tall and holds 1 million gallons of water. The leaf is 60 feet long.
Some people say it looks like a big butt.
 |
| We had company at Walmart, |
including a detective the next morning, asking if we had seen a black guy walking around the area. There was an armed robbery in front of Walmart about 9:00 that morning.
 |
| Liver mush - what can I say? They also had canned boiled peanuts. |
 |
| Getting on to interstate. Both Curt and I remembered why we didn't like driving interstate! Man, were there a lot of trucks. |
 |
| More logging. |
 |
| Welcome to North Carolina! |
 |
| Speed limit 65 on the interstate. |
 |
| North Carolina interstate is much better. |
Mining?
 |
| Lots of industrial buildings in this area. |
 |
| Spring flowers on the side of the road. |
Getting to Charlotte, NC. Sky scrapers in the background.
We bypassed downtown.
 |
| I like their ads. |
 |
| Lots of road construction. |
 |
| Power ball or mega millions anyone? |
 |
| Gas and diesel are more expensive in North Carolina |
 |
| More police at Walmart?! We don't know why, but there were 3 cars. |
Young lady standing at the Walmart entrance, asking for money for food and gas for her 2 children. She had a lot of people giving her money, until the policeman left Walmart and she was told to leave.
