      Thank you for stopping by my Homestate! (South Carolina), It can get pretty iffy sometimes on the Interstates, I go to Santee to see my grandparents. I live in one of the oldest cities in South Carolina, which is Camden/Lugoff Area, which is also 30 minutes Northeast of Columbia. I've been watching your videos since 2017 and I would like to meet you one day whenever you come around by. You are welcomed to visit South Carolina to get through your road trips!

    This episode really captured the feeling of being on the road for me...traffic starting off, rest stops, Buc-ee's billboards, downtown detours because of construction, etc. Thanks for taking us along.

    It's good when you have a "no hurry " destination. And watching the road trip from your camera on top of the trailer, gives you a general layout of the country. Thanks for the cooking show . Going to make breakfast.

    So much fun to hit the open road. Thank you once again for including the highway numbers when you are driving. Really makes it easy to follow along. KOA is interesting. We used to consider them great value, but it seems to me that the quality is not as high as it once was and the price is very high compared to what it once was...this opinion of course is only based on ones we have stayed at in the last few years. We were on the road just under 200 nights in 2023/24 and managed to stay in KOA for only 6 of those and based on my current opinion of KOA I consider that a success. Hopefully they can pick up their game again. Continued safe travels....
