May 31, 2011 South Carolina to West Virginia

Another long day of travel.  We took an alternate route to avoid Columbia and Charlotte.  It wasn't much longer mileage wise, but because part of the route (US 220) went through small towns, it took longer.  We left at 5 am and stopped at 3:30 having traveled a little under 600 miles.  The landscape with farms and rolling hills sure looked like we had left Florida, but that was questionable judging by the outside temperature.  We even wondered if we had somehow ended up in England with drivers on the "wrong side of the road".
Seriously, folks, that is a trailer cab being hauled by another truck, but it sure made for a great visual!

Our stop for the night is at the Lazy A Campground, which is what we felt like after all those miles.  Turns out it is the home of  "Pickin' in the Panhandle", West Virginia's annual state barbeque and Bluegrass festival...I guess that's the southern equivalent of Woodstock.  For more information on the Pickin' event, which is held in September, you can check their website: www.panhandlepickin.com
We'll stay here for the night and then continue north.
