Greenwood State Park to Home

We were awakened this morning to multiple boats motoring away from the boat ramp a few hundred yards from our tent.  They started about 6:00 and we finally gave up sleeping about a quarter to seven and climbed out.  We had a breakfast of grits, cheese and spam singles.  It was not my favorite but it wasn’t too bad.  By the time we had eaten and packed it was 9:15 when we pulled off.    About 10 miles down the road we stopped at a store and had another breakfast of little chocolate donuts and OJ. Now that’s one of my favorite breakfasts.

From there we pedaled on to just outside Laurens where we had a hotdog lunch.  Then it was on to familiar roads for the next thirty miles home.  First Grey Court, Owens, Fountain Inn and then Simpsonville.  Up through the three neighborhoods and then home.  We arrived back around 4:00.

This was another fun trip through our state seeing little towns and meeting so many people we would never had seen or meet had we not taken it.  The group at the bikers club that blew their horns and waved as they passed us in Camden.  All the folks we talked to at the Pantries and Quick Stops we stopped at for drinks and snacks.  The people we talked to at the different camp sites and the ones that shared their firewood with us.  We would have never learned what “buffet” stands for if we had not meet the two big bikers at a café in Cold Spot SC.    They said they were hogs that rode hogs and they loved buffets.  They told us “buffet” stands for “Big Ugly Fat Folks Eating Together”.  Yeah, you gotta love South Carolina.
