We haven't been on the Island since Labor Day so we came over to check things out and pick up some stuff. Oh, and, Wendy and Carder are coming! Now that's a reason! Cats and dogs are loving being loose again.
We left Gaffney at 0833. Interstate 85/485 to get around Charlotte and then US 74 to the coast. There was a neat back road (NC 218) to get to 74 that all the truckers use. We arrived Cedar Island at 1641. Fueled 62.560 gal @ $2.499/gal $156.34 at mileage 75,024. 386 miles in approx 7.5 hours. Computer says we were getting 7.8 MPG which we consider good.
First fill up at a truck diesel station. Nozzles are huge and fast pumps. Took almost no time to load 62 gallons. Also love that we carry 90 gal so we have much longer legs than the other rig.
Thank-you so much for your hospitality and your friendship. We have the best time with y'all. Thanks for the place to lay our heads and for the delicious meals. I could go on and on...
