On April 17th we departed the Charleston area and headed north again. We decided to stick to US 17 which runs along the coast and weren't disappointed. It was a really good road with little traffic and a mix of swampy coastal areas where the azaleas were just at their peak.

 

About noon we needed our usual lunch break and also to restock the pantry so where better than Walmart. In addition to the generally better pricing they always have a place like below where we can park the Flying Scotsman, eat lunch without bothering anyone, and then pop in for needed supplies.

 

 

After the lunch break in Myrtle Beach we came to rest for the night at the KOA in Wilmington North Carolina which was about a 180 mile journey for the day ... very comfortable.

The KOA in Wilmington was fairly well laid out and our new metal, glow-in-the-dark cat kept watch over the cabins in front of the RV for the night.
