PAWLEY’S ISLAND, S.C. — <\/b> After 450 miles of driving, we arrived in Pawley’s Island after 7 p.m. yesterday. If I ever see a scrub pine along I-95 again, it will be too soon. In reality, it’ll be tomorrow.<\/p>\n

After we get back, I’ll be posting about Parker’s Barbecue, where we had lunch yesterday. In the meantime, some observations from along the road:<\/p>\n

  • Wth the completion of the Marine Corps Museum at Quantico there are now four landmarks along the drive . The other three things are Kings Dominion and its “Eiffel Tower,” the cable-stayed bridge (or the city of Richmond if you stick to mainline I-95) and the kitchy-est place on earth, South of the Border.\n
  • Speaking of South of the Border, the signs for it don’t begin until entering North Carolina — they are showing restraint now.\n
  • For the 7th consecutive time I passed it, I did not go to South of the Border.\n
  • The billboards along US 501 seem indicate that Myrtle Beach fancies itself as Branson-by-the-Sea. We’ll try to drive through it on our way out tomorrow to check it out.\n
  • The Grand Strand that I have seen is very pleasant. We’re going to walk on the beach in just a little while.\n
