We stayed in Lake Norman just north of Charlotte and Derick attended to work. We had some great BBQ and saw the barn that was in The Days of Thunder movie where Robert Duvall’s character built the race car for Tom Cruise’s character. It is ironically bordered by two automotive parts stores .
Now it was time to head back to the coast and drive south!
Next stop was Myrtle Beach, South Carolina. We stayed at the state park there which was very nice and right on the beach. Met up with a fellow camper and artist, Skip Stang, who turned us on to a great art show in town. Saw some beautiful work and had lunch in a local brew house! Spent a day on the boardwalk and am so glad it was slow season!
Still not far enough south so off we drove to Fort McAllister State Park in Georgia. It is a great state park with big sites and full hookups. It is also a historic site with the remains of a Condederate fort. Lots of Connfederate flags for sale in the gift shop.
