  • Savannah, GA

    Savannah, GA

    Day 2 Marathon Day! It was a unique feeling to wake up, take some coffee to the front porch of the Queen Anne mansion, and find the normally-busy street in front of us completely quiet and empty. It had been barricaded from traffic, hours before even the leaders would arrive to mile 24.6. I love… Read more…

  • Point South, SC to Savannah, GA

    Point South, SC to Savannah, GA

    Our motel combined two of Choice Hotels’ brands literally under one roof. We had paid $52 (plus tax) for our “Econo Lodge” room, while fancier people paid $73 (plus tax) for a “Quality Inn” room. The guy hadn’t said anything about the big breakfast room behind me when checking in, and comparing the “amenities” lists… Read more…

    Jacksonboro, SC to Point South, SC

    Before we left, the Edisto Motel served us a final example of why it’s a special place. Nathan and Taryn(?) were in front of their room a couple doors down from us, and it turned out they were fellow travelers with whom we had quite a bit in common. They had been walking (for Jesus),… Read more…

Immediately we noticed lines of backed-up… Read more…

    Mt. Pleasant, SC to Charleston, SC

    Our push after yesterday’s crash left only 10 miles remaining to our three-night break in Charleston. Rett wasn’t exactly feeling great, and glad that we had done the 20 extra miles yesterday rather than today, but she’d at least be able to complete this final bit. The short ride (and 4pm check-in at our vacation… Read more…

  • Georgetown, SC to Mt. Pleasant, SC

    Georgetown, SC to Mt. Pleasant, SC

    Yesterday afternoon our Motel 6 was literally the first thing on the ground after we crossed the Pee Dee River and entered Georgetown, and my dash back and forth across the highway to pick up Taco Bell for dinner certainly brought no further insight into the town. I also have no memories from 2010 likely… Read more…
