Day18: Charleston, SC to Beaufort, SC: 80 miles
These signs were along the road into Beaufort. The small print says" violators will be shot, survivors will be shot again". I guess they don't want anyone trespassing.
On the way out of Charleston Michel asked me "What do these signs mean "Adopt a Highway"? "We don't have these in Quebec."
Mosquitoes are very bad here. If you stop riding near any of the wooded or swampy areas you get attacked by swarms.
Tomorrow we're headed for Savannah. It's one of our shorter days but the weather forecast is somewhat threatening - 20 -30mph winds and 100% chance of rain. We have to go across the big bridge into Savannah. I might have to walk that one.
Sam,
ReplyDeleteWeather your way today certainly did not look like it would be fun for bike riding. I suppose you play mental tricks on yourself to keep your mind occupied -- like you did in your old SHS days when you were sitting in a last period study hall. Just don't get too distracted, slide on wet road and injure yourself to the point where you will have to wear a lifetime helpful groin device.
Someone who posts those no trespassing property signs either has a good sense of humor or is really freaky. Is that the area where they shoot the trick-or-treaters every couple of years?
So, what are you going to do for an encore? How about we sign you up for the civilian space program? We'll figure it out over a beer or two when you, Chas, and I get together. We need Chas in case you need to design your own space capsule. Keep peddling - writing - be safe. OD
