"mile 5, turn right on U.S. 12
mile 112, turn left off route 12 into camp site."
We were on route 52 all day.

Not much traffic early on, and very flat all day.

Lots of water today; lots of swamps too.

The C&O tracks followed us all day.
All good things must come to an end. Traffic got a bit heavier as we got closer to Moncks Crossing, but still not objectionable. Then, 1.2 miles from our turn off for our motel, U.S. Alt 17 joined our road, easily doubling the traffic without adding a lane. NOW we were in survival mode with Margaret constantly watching her mirror, while I split my attention evenly between the road ahead and my mirror. To add to the fun, this short section of highway also went over the Copper River/Tail Race Canal on a high, steep bridge. There is nothing like taking up one lane of a very busy two lane highway while doing 6 mph.
We are experienced cyclists, and we made it through. Then after a shower, we found the Tail Race Tavern and filled up.

Beer candied bacon
For anyone who may be curious, beer candied bacon is "Thick Cut Hardwood Smoked Bacon candied in Beer, Brown Sugar & Fresh Rosemary topped with Scallion." Oh yeah.
Tomorrow we ride 35 miles to Charleston, SC. We will be staying three nights.
