North to Black Lake, NY - Day 1

On the road today!  Left home at 8:00AM .........on route to the Quality Inn & Suites in Hardeeville, SC.

Longest part of the trip today was getting out of the state of Florida.  But I do always like the trip around Jacksonville.....especially the views of the cable bridge and St John's River.


And then all the rivers you pass by driving through Georgia......... Below is the South Brunswick River, Turtle River, Chapney River, and the Savana River....


We arrived safely at the Quality Inn and Suites in Hardeeville, SC around 3:00PM.... no rain, no problems today, and just a couple of stops, once at McDonald's for breakfast, and then again for gas.  Hotel is nothing fabulous, but clean, comfortable, nice pool, friendly staff, and a reasonable price.


We got brave tonight and tried a local, family owned restaurant here in town.  Checked for different places on Trip Advisor - and this one had some really good ratings.  It definitely was not what we expected.... very very small and older building, with maybe 5 or 6 tables.  You go to the window to order.  Not hard to tell from the traffic of people that most of their business is take-out...but we sat there and ate.  The food was absolutely excellent, delicious, freshly made, piping hot, and the people were so friendly!  Two pieces of Chicken, with two sides, roll or corn bread.  Wish we had a place like this at home.

Pretty good day........Wake up call set for 6:45 in the morning!   Headed for Virginia!
