ANDREWS to LITTLE RIVER, SC  81.5 miles, 12.6 mph, 6:26 biking time, 7:45 to 5:00. DAYS INN $73

Long day on mostly 2 lane, no shoulder-rough rds w/lots of traffic. Stopped in Conway (50 m) for lunch buffet in local rest. Last 12 m into town was terrible-had about 1 ft or less, bumper strip-logging trucks going both ways-very stressful. Meal of smoked sausage was stressful too. Leader-do we stay or go-several golf courses close by. Want to go-get away from traffic-too early for motel. Hard up for pictures-flowers, ducks & geese at one of rest stops. See 1st Hillary sign. Lots of churches-every yard for 80 m is manicured-too bad about litter-can’t believe what people do. Temp got up to 90-still ok. Another detour-leader starts to go on hywy-STOP-point to sign-BIKES PROHIBITED-leader missed it. Go back to rd. Stop for icee-& post office-talk to Debra-said she was impressed-gave her my card. Hywy 9-sressful-lots of traffic. Finnaly at Days Inn-room large-looks remodeled-nice. Mex rest. across street-can’t believe it-shrimp tacos-wish I had camera. Beautiful & delicious-much better than meals in TX. One is sleeping & one is watching tv. Not sure how far we’re going tomorrow.
