STS Hop 8<\/p><\/div>\n

94 miles via mostly US 17.<\/p>\n

The only thing difficult about this trip was ignoring the GPS when it told us to make a U-turn.<\/p>\n

I don’t know what is going on with our (relatively) new Rand-McNally GPS, but on the last two hops it has insisted that we make a U-turn when none was needed. And the GPS was set to “avoid U-turns”. Makes no sense.<\/p>\n

And there was a tight right turn about a mile short of The Campgound at James Island Park<\/a>. We ran a tire over the curb, which seemed to be a better choice than colliding with the traffic waiting at the light. But the tires tolerated it well and we made it to our destination in just under 3 hours. That is an average of about 30 mph which is very slow for a trip with no stops. But US 17 has a lot of lights and about a dozen construction zones. About the only good thing about the route was that it was flat.<\/p>\n

We will be in Charleston for 5 days. The weather promises to be good and James Island Park looks very interesting. Should be fun.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
